One way to spend a Saturday Morning.

I sold a cycling jersey last week and the guy who won it chose "COD", which I'd forgotten to remove from the options…
He lives in south east melbourne in what would make an interesting detour/change from the usual (okay, not so unusual since the car accident) weekend morning ride down beach road to Mordialloc. The Mordialloc ride from home is just under 90km round trip, so the thought of not going quite that far, but with a different route to ride appealed. Unfortunately, the distance didn't as I haven't done a ride of that magnitude for some time. So the idea of riding to oakleigh south then getting on the train for the return journey came up. A much better idea considering tomorrow's Tri-X Adventure race, and not wanting to overdo it before the event.
Only once I'd made it to oakleigh south I was feeling pretty good. Several of the hills along north rd were a challenge but I felt good. This meant I did something that I was later to regret - I rode home.
By the time I'd reached footscray I was spent, and considering the cold and the drizzle that had been around for most of the trip had had enough, so I piked the last 10kms home. All up I'd covered 70kms, which wasn't too bad considering it had been nearly a month since I'd been on a bike.
Hopefully, it won't be a problem for tomorrow's Tri-X Adventure race at Lysterfield…
