Rode out to street orienteering after work and home again. Managed to sketch myself a map off google maps and not get lost! Will have to locate a cycle map of the city or something so I know which streets are ok to ride on.

Street event at Ascot Vale. I normally hate street events but I think I will enjoy them in a new city. Gives me an excuse to go and explore random places.
Body seems to have recovered from the Rogaine now. I am also forgeting how much pain the event involved and considering embarking on a search for a teamate for the aus rogaine champs.

Trying out the bike to make sure nothing broke on the plane and that I put it together ok. Got lost.

Went for a short run in the evening after arriving in Melbounre, from my new home along the river and then around the botanic gardens and then back. Nice welcome to the city with lots of rain and colder than chch.

Been having a rest this week recovering from the rogaine. Body seems ok although knee is on and off pain and both big toenails are not happy. U2 concert last night seems to have turned on knee pain again today, will have to see how it goes next week. Off to melbourne for the summer in the morning so looking forward to having some new places to explore!

Event: World Rogaine Championships
 

More later but an ok race...not great navigation, reasonable route, the usual pain of having a team mate much faster than you. 3rd Womens Open though!

Decided to give my new pack a try and went for a bit of an explore down the governers bay side of the hills. Headed up from Bowenvale and around to Dyers then down the new mtb track. Then got a bit lost on some little tracks in the bush which arent even on the rogaine maps. Finally ended up back on the summit road. Then down and around the bottom track tothe bellbird and back to my bike along the tops.

Last of the wed night rogaines. Was good to get out after being stuck inside studying. Was feeling a bit crap on the hills but got around ok. Had a reasonably good route planned and did exactly what we planned to do. which is a change. Had a bit of trouble with 101 but I dont think that was my fault and 63 near the end when I decided not to get my torch out to save time...and then lost time because I couldnt really see in the trees. Also got a great new pack for my efforts :) this is way more worthwhile than studying!
