Plus 0.6 km walk to get shortbread cookie making supplies.
Sunday 3 January -- 32.8 km!! And that brings 8 days in a row of cycling to an end.
I was kind of hoping to do a flat route, and the first 20 km wasn't too bad, but then it got hilly. Oh well, I'm starting to get used to that.
Plus 1 km walk.

What a glorious day for walking. First of all a 30 minute walk for the girls. Then a strenuous walking thru woods, brush, hills, etc....I thought we would never find our way out! lol...but that gave me 40 minutes more walking. I am more tired than my usualy 3.0 walking miles...Need too do THAT more often..Still just 3.0 miles though...
Calling for Rain tomorrow. Gonna try too get out early as possible before it sets in...That is the plan anyway!
As of today Jan 14th: 32.5 Walking Miles.....0 -

Wednesday (Jan 13) was a beautiful day! 34°C degrees and bright sunshine ... so we went to the beach after work. And there were WAVES! Apparently there was a 3 metre swell out there resulting in the biggest waves I've seen on our beach. We spent some time in the water, but only up to my waist. Those waves made me just a little bit nervous. We left as the storm clouds were gathering and as we neared home (walking, of course, the beach is only about 1 km away), the thunder and lightening started. And the minute we set foot inside the house, the sky opened up and the rain poured down. We haven't had a good storm in a while!! And then we had "Day 2" of my slow cooker chicken veg curry ... always better on the second day.
Thursday (Jan 14) reached a high of 17°C and toward the end of the day they were predicting snow down to 1200 metres.
That's Tasmania for you.

WELCOME bigroastdinner! lol NOW I'm hungry. That is a catchy name...lol
Machka I love reading your posts....You're doing well girl!
Today I was up and out the door early as they were calling for rain and yes rain did come while we were walking but it was only a few sprinkles...Managed 3.0 Walking miles today. We did get some wet there on the end...
35.5 Walking Miles total thus far....0 -
From the sound of those waves @Machka9 I think you were right to be nervous!!
Today is the first sunny day in a long time, and I have half a mind to get the bike out. My January so far has mostly been torrent behind the wheel of my car doing site visits, can I tally up those miles instead??
A paltry 15 miles so far this month, although I've been keeping up with the early morning gym visits and even ENJOYED my 25 consecutive minutes of running (c25k programme week 6 day 3) so much I added an extra minutes!!
Think I'm just having a slow start to the year, not done any dancing yet, but have a class set up tomorrow afternoon which should chivvy me along.

I don't really swim ... I can kind of make it down a 25 metre lane, but not well. So while I'm OK wading in the ocean, even doing a bit of swimming if it is calm. I just feel I can't handle the waves!!

Those waves made me just a little bit nervous. We left as the storm clouds were gathering and as we neared home (walking, of course, the beach is only about 1 km away), the thunder and lightening started. And the minute we set foot inside the house, the sky opened up and the rain poured down. We haven't had a good storm in a while!! And then we had "Day 2" of my slow cooker chicken veg curry ... always better on the second day.
Thursday (Jan 14) reached a high of 17°C and toward the end of the day they were predicting snow down to 1200 metres.
That's Tasmania for you.

Saturday's ride ... 101.6 km training ride with approx. 560 metres of climbing.
I cycled from home down to Kettering, then caught the ferry across to Bruny Island. Once there, I cycled down to Alonnah, and back to the Bruny Island Ferry Terminal.
That's the short story. Now the slightly longer version ...
Today was a lovely day with a high of about 20C, mostly sunny and a fairly strong south-east wind gusting up to 40 km/h. The wind started a little lighter than that, but got stronger as the day went on. This meant that I had a headwind on the way down, and a tailwind on the way back. That headwind had me worried for a while because I didn't realise how strong it was and was beginning to wonder what was wrong with me that I couldn't seem to get up any speed. At the turnaround point, I overheard a couple people in the shop talking about the wind and saying it had become quite strong. Oh ... heh heh ... maybe that's what was up! And on the way back, I definitely had speed!
The first 25 km was from home to the ferry, and that bit contained about half the climbing. So I had quite a hilly start to the ride. The remaining 75 km on the island, had the other half of the climbing, concentrated in the beginning, the bit right around the turnaround point, and the end. The middle gave me a bit of a break.
The traffic was pretty good. We've got a 1.5 metre law here ... motorists are supposed to give cyclists 1.5 metres. The vast majority of the drivers did that ... there were just two I can remember who cut it pretty close.
On the ferry ride over to Bruny Island, I met a couple who were also cycling and we chatted the whole way over and a little bit when we had disembarked. That was really nice. We also spotted a seal in the water doing it's body temperature regulation thing with the flipper out of the water. They were heading the opposite direction to do a bit of camping (cycletouring).
There were quite a few other cycletourists along the way as well.One funny thing happened after I'd been cycling on the island for about 10 km. All of a sudden there was a trumpet! Loud and sounding like it was right next to me!!
"I'm not feeling that bad after all that climbing for Gabriel to be coming for me now!" I thought.
It was someone standing on the beach, next to where I was cycling, playing the trumpet.
At the end of the ride, I stopped by Rowan's orchard to see where he was in the process of wrapping up his day, and then I cycled down to the ferry terminal to wait for him. We rode the ferry back together and then I caught a lift home.
I was really pleased with two things in particular:
1) I managed an 18 km/h average rolling speed. That's the fastest I've ridden in a long time.
2) Last weekend I did a 77 km ride in a total time of 5 hours. This weekend, I did the 75 km on the island in about 4 hours 40 min. I knocked 20 min off that distance!

Looking forward to an active January!First bicycle ride of the New Year!! 38.4 km ... should be almost enough to burn off all the cinnamon rolls I made and ate.Machka9 wrote:Saturday 2 January -- 52.06 km with 613 metres of climbing. Plus wind. Plus ... surprisingly chilly. My feet were quite cold when I got in.
Plus 0.6 km walk to get shortbread cookie making supplies.
Sunday 3 January -- 32.8 km!! And that brings 8 days in a row of cycling to an end.
I was kind of hoping to do a flat route, and the first 20 km wasn't too bad, but then it got hilly. Oh well, I'm starting to get used to that.
Plus 1 km walk.

Wednesday (Jan 13) was a beautiful day! 34°C degrees and bright sunshine ... so we went to the beach after work. And there were WAVES! Apparently there was a 3 metre swell out there resulting in the biggest waves I've seen on our beach. We spent some time in the water, but only up to my waist. Those waves made me just a little bit nervous. We left as the storm clouds were gathering and as we neared home (walking, of course, the beach is only about 1 km away), the thunder and lightening started. And the minute we set foot inside the house, the sky opened up and the rain poured down. We haven't had a good storm in a while!! And then we had "Day 2" of my slow cooker chicken veg curry ... always better on the second day.
