Hot ride back in Melbourne yesterday afternoon. Despite it being a multi-hop commute (LBS in Ivanhoe, new hobby shop in Heidelberg, brother's place in Watsonia North), I felt really drained by the time I got back. Odd for the shorter, 30km version of my ride back - but then I had triple-H conditions: Heat, Headwinds, Hills...I know, excuses excuses.
Ride in this morning was ok, still pretty warm at 26C around 4:30am.
As far as the new hobby goes:

Hope to give it a try starting this long weekend.
