Sunny Saturday

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday, so what better way to spend it than to go for a little pedal. I had to drop my wife off at a friends place this morning, so I left the car there and I rode to South Melbourne where I met a friend of mine. From there we rode down to Black Rock then back to Port Melbourne. In Port Melbourne I decided that I'd had enough of carrying around a camel back so I went to a bike shop and bought 2 water bottles and a saddle bag. From there my friend decided that he hadn't rod far enough so he set off for Yarra Glen. I had to go pick my car up, in the other direction so I set off for there. On the way I got side tracked, I felt the need to climb some short steepish hills. So I headed for East Kelior. On the way I had an energy gel, this really got me going. Once at East Kelior I dropped in on some friends and had a couple of pies for lunch. Whilst here my friend who set off for Yara Glen SMSed me that he had made it, it took him 2:20. From East Keilor it was only a short leg of about 8km. All up today I did a lazy 78Km.

After all of this I don't feel that tired, I must be getting used to this distance, I think it could be time to step it up a knotch

Below is a picture of the Bike that I'm doing all this tripping around on.
