Was feeling a bit sore today, particularly in the quads - so I decided from the outset that today was just about a commute, burning some calories - and not about racking up segment PRs on Strava.

Mission accomplished.

Had a great ride on Sunday - I really wanted to spend a couple of hours in the saddle and used the time for my favourite bit of urban bush and to explore  the new bike tracks on the Parramatta river. A nice piece of technical single trail that gives me some much needed practice and then a lovely flat ride on well formed paths.

I'm really glad I got a bike with locking front shocks that can be locked out or unlocked while still in the saddle - the transition from trail to path was just so easy.

Today, Sydney had some blessedly cooler weather and feeling pretty strong I added some extra K's on to the commute home. I also found time for 2 walks today, so I'm really starting to ramp my base up.

I weighed in at 102.9kgs this morning, giving me a total loss of 21kg neat since 20 November 2016 - just 2.9kg till I run again!

Today was my first ride in the rain on the Talon. It was also the first day I managed to pedal all the way to the top of Lillyfield Road without having to dismount!

The bonus for today is that my new shoes arrived, Shimano MT3s - they fit really well on my broad feet and getting them today means I have a dry pair of shoes to walk around and ride home in :)
