    Woohoo! Finally caught up! Rode the bike to work again today, my backside wasn't quite as grumpy, but is still not happy with me, not sure if I'm going to ride tomorrow or not.... I really should, I won't be able to next weekend, too many evening plans that start right after work and I won't ride home in the dark. I also wouldn't feel comfortable leaving the bike locked up somewhere outside. It would probably be fine, but..... since it's a loaner, I really don't want it stolen (even with a good lock that does happen - some real low-lifes in the neighborhood). I had to talk myself into it today, and did some talking to myself yesterday too! And it was a good ride! The first time I did it, it took me an hour, the second time a little less, today was only 50 min! I did have some good luck with some traffic lights tho and not so much traffic this morning so the pedestrian controlled lights turned sooner. And yes, I do walk the bike across the road when I'm using a crosswalk! I figure I have to, I am perfectly willing to grouch about folks who ride on the crosswalks, so really don't want to be one of them.

    It does take a little while to adjust to the saddle if you haven't ridden in a while. If it still hurts after 2 or 3 weeks, then you might look at some other options to make it more comfortable which include ...

    -- making sure the bicycle is set up correctly.
    -- making sure the saddle is wide enough for you, but not too wide.
    -- a good pair of cycling shorts that suits you.
    -- improved core strength.

    etc.


    But well done on commuting by bicycle! I wish I could do that.

    My commute would be about 17 km each way which wouldn't be a big problem except that it's up and over a decent hill each way as well which requires some effort. The road much of the way isn't bad. There's a decent shoulder on the highway most of the way, but shortly after you top the hill, the shoulder vanishes and you're right among all the commuter traffic.

    Then, when I do finally get to work, my building doesn't provide good bicycle storage facilities. :( I would actually attempt the commute once in a while if I had somewhere to store my bicycle securely.

    This is a picture I took from the top of the hill before descending into Hobart on a ride I did on a weekend to see how a commute might feel. My bus goes that way too, so I see that view 5 days a week. :)

    Pip the plant is some kind of Lily. Tiger lilies often have those black nodes. I didn't see any flowers on them. Do you have deer. Deer love lilies.

    Tracey thanks for asking about our son. He is home and he had us over for a barb-a-cue tonight. Son and I went to what is called the Dragon Festival in the park close to him. They race boats that have dragon heads on them. Boats are what a crew team would race in. Last night we planted rose bushes along his garage. It seems when we do one project another project pops up that needs to be done before the project is done.

    I agree, those are lilies! My mom has so many!

    Dragon Boat Festival is so much fun!! It’s one of my daughter’s favorite festivals, right after Chinese New Year and Autumn Moon Festival.

    I feel quite off today. I was dragging and a bit sore, so went to café for an espresso and to read the paper to kickstart the day. I bought some new fair trade chocolate at the supermarket and had about 65 g!!, plus I ate a package of corncake (like rice cakes but corn). then felt off and uneasy and watched videos online and fell asleep.

    not sure what's up - whether it's the physical influencing the psychological or visa-versa or both.

    im worried. I feel discouraged.

    Sorry to hear how you're feeling, days like that can be tough to keep motivated.
    How long have you been feeling like this? No reason you can think of?

    Sunday, 14 July 2019 … 3.6 km walking + 9.0 km cycling + 3.3 km rowing

    This was 40 minutes of walking, 31 minutes with cycling, and 22 minutes of rowing = 93 minutes of exercise. We finally got our home gym set up!! :):)

    I do still need to get a foot pod to record what I do on the treadmill, but everything else is in place, and I had a great workout!! :grin:

    Tassie's my paradise. I'd live there if I could get a job.
    Been there about a dozen times, the last time I did the Three Capes and travelled and photographed the rest of the time.

    My husband is born and raised here. He'd been living on the mainland 8 years before we moved here ... back here for him.

    We've walked part of the Three Capes, before it was the Three Capes ... in 2014.
