A stupid pedestrian decided to wave a car thru a crosswalk as I was going thru

Had to crash to avoid getting hit by the car

Aug 1 - chilly (9C) and windy (30 km/h gusting to 57 km/h) with a "feels like" temp of about 5C and a little blast of sleet just to keep things interesting.

And we cycled 38.5 km up the cycleway and back on our Thorn touring bicycles.

So looking forward to summer!!

Aug 8 - 27.93 km bicycle ride outside (85 min) ... and I even took it up to top speed once!

Aug Cycling: 66.4 km in 208 min + 0 min cycling indoors

Friday 14 August -- 60 min on the trainer (cycling indoors).

Saturday 15 August -- 12.95 km on a local "rail trail" of sorts. They pulled up the track by 1934 and I think the remaining trail just sat there for quite a few years after that before they finally made a mtn bike track out of it.

Kaoota Tramway | Greater Hobart Trails

It starts with a steep climb from where you park your car to the actual start of the track, but once you're on the track, the grade is not bad. The trail is in fairly decent conditions but does require a person to pay attention ... there are rocky bits and muddy bits, and 101 small tree branches to lodge themselves in a rear wheel.

But it was a good ride! Something a little different.

Sunny but quite chilly.
