Got passed by a trailbike twice on the way out. Definitely not allowed here - there are picture signs at all the access points. No rego plates either. He deserved nails in the tyres instead of me. 25°C. TE 2.8.

North Berowra trails (ACW): Mary Wall-Warrina > Warrego-Alan-Wanda > Cliffview-Lonsdale-Woodcourt-Turner > Turner single tracks. Seemed quite humid. Didn't push too hard. The plastic disc protector has come loose and jammed the chain today. Cut it off when I got back home. 29°C. TE 2.5.

Back & front yards. Heard some thumping on the roof this morning. Went out to the backyard to see the neighbours 2 cats and the kitten lying on the rooftop solar panels. 28°C.

Just a short recovery ride and to test out the patched rear tyre. The holes were quite small so I used 2 glueless Lezyne patches. 4oz of tubeless sealant added. Easily up Impossible Hill #3 - the rain has washed away a lot of the loose leaves. 29°C. TE 1.9.

1. Centennial Park<>The Rocks where I was referee for the Oz Day 10k wheelchair race. 18km, 55'. 2. Centennial Park laps: 12.5 x 6.6km, +44m climb per lap. Wasn't sure if I could complete enough laps of CP to get to 100km. But I was starting with 18km on the board after the trip to The Rocks & back. Thought I'd add a bit of variety (pain) by doing a loop up Robinson Drive & Loch Avenue, along Carrington Drive, and down Parkes Drive & Hamilton Drive on each lap. At least I was getting different riders around me when I re-joined Grand Drive. Stopped for lunch at 60km but the free chicken salad roll I brought from The Rocks event was stale. More windy for the second half. Struggled up the hill the second last time but got a second wind from 90km. Averaged 25.5km/h for the CP bit. 29°C. TE 3.3.

Berowra<>Cowan. Short ride today - possibly going for a long ride tomorrow. Approaching Berowra Station on the way back I could see a car preparing to do a u-turn up ahead. Plenty of time for him to turn. No, he's waiting for me, so I better ride faster up this slight hill. No, he's turning now, but very slowly and so wide. He's crossed 2 southbound lanes and is now in my lane. Surely he's seen me (orange singlet) and will accelerate away. No he isn't. Just enough room to squeeze past on the left without getting on the brakes. 24°C. TE 2.4.
