Lazy, rainy day at home. Eventually got on the windtrainer just before bedtime. Even more boring than going up and down Tonkin.

Paddling (Riverton) 1:00:00 [3] 8.0 km (8.0 kph)
shoes: Cracked up DR boat
Left my GPS at home and since I'd got stuck at work a bit longer than I wanted I planned to just go up to the same spot as last week so I'd know the distance.
Watch a pelican glide in to land on the river and hang out with his mates just in front of me, then saw mumma duck and her seven babies out for a swim.
Water was flowing quite fast over Kent St weir, so I just played in the flow, but with the eddies moving the bow around quite a bit and since I was feeling like a wuss, with nothing sensible like a pfd, and feeling like I could end up being smashed into a bridge support, I just tried to ease over the weir a few times, but couldn't get over and get a run at it I kept aiming for a support, so just ended up playing for about 10 mins before heading back.

Road Bike (Tonkin) 1:03:30 30.24 km (28.6 kph) +30m
ahr:164 max:177 shoes: Azzurri Forza
Was planning to extend my ride to 50km by heading through some back roads north of Mills Rd, but with all the showers coming through I faffed around checking the radar, checking XPD, contemplating windtrainer, eventually just had time to go up and loop around Champion Lakes.
Waited a couple of minutes in the shed for another shower to pass before rolling out. Got on the road a wished I'd thought to put my mudguard on, oh well no more time to waste.
No ducks today, just a couple of swamp hens. Rain got a bit harder around Armadale Rd and persisted for a little while.
My worst fears were realised when I got home and my bike was covered in sand, now I'll have to clean it up, oh well.
