I managed the 16.5km to work in 40:07 this morning. To be honest, I had a pretty good tailwind most of the way.
Now the soreness is in my shoulders, after spending yesterday planting trees. I thought 130 would be plenty, but it looks like I'll need another 40 or so...

Should be a good bonfire next year!
Oh it will! In fact, I have already commenced construction! :-D
Bah! I hit 46km/h coming down the hill this morning, but had to slow down when my mostly-empty pannier started swinging into the spokes. And now my speedo is reading heiroglyphs! Oh well, it's probably battery related.

Could be the cold air!
I finally rode in this morning too BT. My knee is still a little still however and I can certainly feel the fact that I haven't been on the bike for a few weeks. The big question is should I rock up at Stromlo circuit for training tomorrow at 6:30 am?? No harassing comments please Simon!

Maybe, but a new battery didn't fix it either. I'll dissect it tonight, and see if I can ruin it totally (who keeps receipts? I should...)

Good to hear that you're recovering. I think your injury was an order of magnitude more serious than my own.

I had a cheap Aldi computer [censored] itself after a ridiculously wet ride (I had my prescription sunnies off because I could see better without them, they were so wet and foggy). Anyway, I can't remember if I pulled it apart first, but leaving it in front of a heater for a few days seemed to revive it. The heater was warming the house, so it wasn't like I was just using it to fix the bike computer!

Yeah, I've had one fail through dampness before, but that wasn't the problem this time. I'll just get another one, I've already got the sensor and bracket set up after all... ;-)
