Got a good ride in last night after work: around Lake Burley Griffin. It was 33.5km from the hotel, around the lake and back to the hotel, at an average speed of 27.2kmh overall, and 28.1kmh if I exclude the hotel to lake and lake to hotel bits. It’s quite a nice ride, hugging the side of the lake most of the way around, passing Old Parliament House, The Governor General’s house and the National Museum of Australia. It’s a tarmac bike track almost all the way around and is mainly flat. The last 20% of the ride was into the wind but it wasn’t too strong. By the end of it my lower back was a bit sore & my legs were a little tired, but other than that it was plain sailing. I’ll hopefully do it again on Thursday.

B: 33.5km – R: 2.2km
