A shorter day, due to a full on weekend (without work!)

Saturday I ended up getting out for a bike ride - in the beautiful sunshine. Which was great. The idea was to ride until I felt tired, sit and listen to a podcast, then ride on or back, depending on how I felt. So I rode in towards the city - took a couple of wrong turns (only short, as I quickly worked out that I wasn't where I meant to be) - and stopped at the end of the section that runs along beside the freeway - as I knew that going DOWN that part of the path meant that I would have to come back UP it! Had about 20mins off, then turned around and came back. Pretty happy that I turned back, as I was actually pretty stuffed by the time I got home. Worked out later that I'd ridden about twice as far as I've ridden at any point over the last couple of months - so pretty pleased with that. :-)

Then yesterday we ran a sag wagon for the Around the Bay in a Day ride. Left home at about 9.45am to get to depot at Sunshine, got back there and got the van unpacked and everything about 8pm... rang friends, who had gone home by then as it was cold and damp - so headed home. A long day - but satisfying!

How to derail a day... We went to the welcome home celebration for our Olympic athletes at Federation Square. Absolutely wonderful to be there, but we couldn't help noticing that the crowd was much smaller than the turn out for Cadel Evans' welcome after he won the Tour de France... And including travel time, it ate up most of the working day - but it was great for us to meet up in town and wander around for a while together... Dave got a haircut that doesn't make him look like a thug, which was great - and we deposited both cheques that have been sitting around for a while - so not a total loss!
