Then on the way home the heavens had opened up (cyclist didn't get the warning from the red sky) and I was still stuck in the big cog trying to fight a strong southerly (headwind for half the way) and get home as quickly as possible.

Tonight - same hill, same dude on the skateboard. He was held up a bit by another cyclist. "Did I go faster tonight?". I think he's aiming to get to 40km/h. Pretty amazing skills on the skateboard.

I was too busy making sure I didn't run over everything. Average speed was slow because of it. Not looking forward to the headwind home.adam0bmx0 wrote:Did you have a decent tailwind?jasonc wrote:commute post ex-TC Debbie was fine - some debris. two trees down - one required a diversion, the other I could duck under

Whittlesea has the grass/crap thrown away from the path.
Darebin manages to throw the grass/crap onto the path.
?????? Turn the mower around Darebin!! I'm starting to think this is deliberate......

Cold again today, but not quite as bad. At least it isn't so dark in the morning at the moment, but the flip side is that it is dark in the evenings when I get home.

Not sure if I made it to work though, the GPS stopped about half way and it's not on Strava.

If that was his transgression, it's very lame for the police. It's actually safer to move further away from Milton Rd before crossing the street as the cars that right turn from Milton Rd are more difficult to see/handle when you're closer to the intersection.

of course we could all ride over the coot-tha bridge and then go on milton rd and turn right into sylvan rd. that may create some traffic mayhem

You cross at the first T junction away from Milton Rd - is that what you mean?jasonc wrote:Chris - actual fine is $97 for riding the wrong way. I go down to the intersection now and then cross.

My aim is to have as few interactions with cars as I can... although I appreciate the idea.

I took the last two days off in Melbourne due to massive morning downpours (including hail). It didn't stop the kids though. Back on the bike this morning, with winter boots for the first time...although they weren't needed as it was much warmer than expected.
