    Well I have now been in Canberra for 3 weeks and loving it. Today I got back into my normal routine of riding to work. No problems envisioned, easy 20km’s had tested the route on Saturdays ride.

    Ok when I left this morning it was 4 degrees, again no problem I from experience I know that as I get into the ride things warm up. Then I get a flat on the way to work and loose 30min, good thing I had nothing plan for this morning.

    Well 10kg’s to go and hopefully will get to do my first race later this year.

    ACT vets lookout!

    Welcome! 4 degrees is quite warm and you've missed the coldest for the
    year. Wait 12 months and see how you feel next winter. Where are you
    commuting from>to?

    I am riding from Theodore to the PMC building on National Circuit. Easy ride of about 20.4km. I try and do something longer and harder on the way home.

    Wow! They've named a Canberra suburb after me. :-)
