Got my good bike back yesterday, took a while to decide to ride the new bike despite the 30% chance of rain, then when I got it down realised I'd have to swap lights and stuff back over again so just took the old bike.

Semi hipster pulled onto the path ahead of me around Hammond Park and we took turns till he turned off at Fiona Stanley. Probably bludged on a couple more wheels along the way.

Seabreeze was lighter than normal, and loads of cyclists heading home. Got on a wheel near the narrows then jumped on a faster one then a silly fast one, who eventually waved me up to take a turn and I had to say I was about to drop off him anyway, pretty smashed by then, and not even at Canning Bridge yet, eventually the first wheel I'd been on came past so I stayed with him and when he eventually eased up and I should have taken a turn I let him know I was stuffed so had a chat for a while before dropping back onto his wheel with a killer stitch. He turned off at Armadale Rd and I suffered till I had to wait for the traffic lights at Rowley Rd and the stitch finally released itself.

More comfortable on Rowley Rd but didn't push hard so a bit of a cruise towards the end.
