For the first time in living memory (well, maybe 12 months) I got out on my bike this morning.

I did an easy 20km at a slightly embarrassing average of a shade over 24km/hr. This is a long way from the pace I used to ride at, but for my first ride back on the bike after so long it was a really enjoyable ride.

There’s nothing quite like riding in the bush on a warm summer morning, the road to yourself as the bike crunches across dried up gum leaves and magpies and kookaburras ridicule you as you drift through the bush. Lovely stuff. I need to do this more often.
