I'm off to a start for another year of the challenge, and I have done my first two rides. Only short ones so far, and I'll be building up slowly, as I recover from an aggravated sacroiliac joint. First ride was an oft-pedalled route around my suburb after work, on Day 1. Couldn't wear either T-shirt or jersey cos it was too cold (apparent temp 7 degrees!), and they wouldn't have fitted over the layers I had to wear to keep warm! And my first ride also came with my first mad magpie encounter! Hope I don't have any more of those. I will avoid that particular spot if I can.
My Second ride couldn't have been more different! Perfect weather, and no magpies! It was a tram and ride to meet friends at Floriade. First time in a while the trusty steed and I have been on the tram together. Floriade was LOVELY and I went a bit mad with the camera.
So far my hip has held up ok, so here's being able to keep riding and up the kms a bit!
