The Less Obsessive Cyclist was persuaded to have a look at the trails in Westgae Park today. While I swooped and whooped about, she took a slightly more conservative approach. They are a bit on the twisty side. Lumpy, too. Occasionally, a foot hit the ground. There was an incident that almost led to over-familiarity with a hedge, but the trail was tamed.

After the ride, we both lifted some heavy things for a bit, and then went for a swim. The Competent Swimmer led the way confidently and elegantly as I trailed in her wake, breathing equal amounts of air and water for 400 metres.

Then we undid all the good work with a six-egg omelette. Whoops.

Another stunning sunset today. I grabbed the good camera and took a few shots. It took a while for me to notice that the camera was in manual focus, and set for some bizarre priority that only The Proper Photographer understands. As a result, I missed the shots of the liquid gold sun melting into the horizon.

It was clear enough to get a couple of shots of the You Yangs. If you look beyond the suspension column of Westgate Bridge, you can see a series of hills on the horizon. The bridge is about 3kms away. The hills are about 50kms.

If you look down from the suspension pillar on the left, then a bit further left to the next two bridge supports, that's Westgate Park. You can almost see it, if you already know it's there. That picture includes every real trail that we've done together. All that and a sunset, too.
