Sandringham

Fifteen point seven miles per hour.

After fuelling up with the Monster Picnic, I took my bike out. It's a cold, grey day, but miraculously there was almost no wind. I headed gently towards Westgate Park. Both my regular readers will know that the 'gently' part wasn't going to last long. I did the first 3.5 miles in 12'16" - 17.2mph, a personal best. After a bit of faffing on the trails I tooled south towards St Kilda. I passed a lot of people, then fell in with a couple of roadies. They were keeping it dialled in at a very steady 20mph, so I obviously couldn't let them get away. I stayed with them until they turned off. Wusses. By that point, I was almost at Sandringham marina, so I did the last bit gently, then went to the end of the breakwater and took some pictures.

Silver gull Another seagull. Or maybe the same one. They all look the same after a while.

I was sensible on the way back, and only increased the average speed a bit. 32 miles, 2 hours, 2 minutes. Feeling virtuous. Pass the brandy butter.
