Seeing as nobody appears to have noticed, it's Australia Day today and I
am off for a ride to the Eastern Suburbs now that it has "cooled down" a
bit - liddle hop of 'bout 12kms :)

I got an earlier email from our Prime Minister alerting me to that fact.

You just had to trump me, right? :)

Did have a coupla interesting things that happened to me today but I am
pressed for time, so I'll leave it at that.

Oh boy, we're are all going to be poised in waiting for you to finish
your ride and report back. :-)

OK so I am back - finally.

I know, I am pretty hopeless, eh? Takes me frigging hours to do 12kms
and back :)

Eeerrr.. what interesting things happened yesterday or rather the day
before? Lemme see ... met a Lycra-clad fellow on his flashy Giant bike
who was waiting by the side of the road for his similarly Lycra-clad
mate and they were gonna do a 25km ride return (50kms all up) to Watson
Bay, Sydney. Apparently they do the ride 3 or 4 times a week. I am
guessing it would be a good ride because of the several hills they would
encounter on the way to Watson Bay and, of cos, back to their start
point. Didn't get to discuss how long it takes them, etc cos his mate
turned up and off they went.

I'll be trundling out my electric trike tomorrow (Thursday) because I
need to renew 3 of my medications.

An electric trike, eh? Do yer get a good run on the batteries? Some of
the ones I come across last only 2-3 hours depending on terrain, speed,
condition of battery, rate at which battery was charged, etc.

I tried to connect the trike and the medication but I gave up :)
