1k son to school
1k home
1k pick-up son
1k home
4 whole kilometres.
But not without excitement - survived the school drop off zone - 4WDs, distracted parents, kids opening car doors etc. You seriously need to pay attention.
And no punctures today at the park rotunda - much easier to smash your stubby than walk the two metres and back to the bin. Gets much worse after hot nights - not just dropped stubbies smashed over a wide distance

After living in beautiful Port Macquarie for 20 years, I couldn't go back to living in the 'big smoke'. You can't beat cycling along the coast or river at 5.30am and seeing the sun come up over the horizon.
I saw a TV show one time that compared the lungs of a city-dweller to those of a rural person. Both were non-smokers, but there was a huge difference in the colour and health of the lungs.
Mind you, we have to deal with our own local issues such as rural roads, very few cycleways, livestock, snakes, koalas etc.
Nobody looks back on their life....and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep !!

Was going to do 35km same as yesterday morning, but unfortunately after 22km and pushing it a bit harder for just two laps, my heart rate jumped from 145 to 199 and that is a little bit too high for an old codger like me and I gave it away.
Bummer, few more issues to work out with my doctor.
