Had a good week down in Canberra last week. Matt had organised a work golf day for Friday, so we hit the driving range on Tuesday night to get some practice in. Wednesday night saw myself & Paul bring Daniel out for his first MTB ride, which he enjoyed immensely. I got a puncture right at the end, so had to walk home as, while I had a spare tube, it was for my old bike and didn’t have the right valve to fit through the hole in the rim. Even though Daniel walked with me it still took ages as we wandered the meandering back streets of Canberra in the pitch black. We made it eventually.

I bought new tubes on Thursday, then ended up riding around Majura for 2.5hrs on my own which was great fun. I was bloody exhausted at the end, so a kangarro steak washed down with few Belgian beers in Debacle worked a treat. Friday was the golf day and after getting off to a shocking start with an 11 on the first hole I settled down into relatively normal play, finishing up with a 57 for the 9 holes. Myself and Tom have decided to get some regular driving range practice and round of golf in this year, having hardly played at all last year.
