Lunchtime from BMB to Moonah, bike track
Average speed 21.2km/hr
Max 36.9km/hr
Time: 37.54 minutes
Distance 13.39km

Perceptions: cool day to start, but warmed up with exertion. solid wind on the nose on return leg.

Aim: 93kg down to 88kg then re-assess appropriate 'platform'.

Assistance: bike ride at lunchtime whenever work and other engagements permit, try for 40 minutes, and thus reduce food by accident at the same time.

Petra across the bridge to Shag Bay

Petra to Shag Bay: the true story! With the Marples all married off to the Windsor, and Red Hair again in fashion, it was an ideal day this Sunday (20 May 2018) to travel to the sunny side and explore the northern side of the bridge. At stages the travel was slow going, but the end product was quite a long ride, with sufficient stops and entertainments to make it feel relatively relaxed. The Glenorchy - Casino (why don't they get their own?) walk/run day was on, so there was doubt about whether we would be blocked trying to cross the bridge. With an agreed start at Montague Bay of 10am, Porter and Fitz took the car option, and parked near Rose Bay. Kimber being uncertain about damage to the limo by poking his bike in the boot, rode over from Nixon St.  By 0915 hrs the Royal wedding had been swept aside like last night's rubbish in the street, and people were back egocentrically exploring their own world. No wind, 11 degrees, and a great wash of humanity tr

Beautiful Wet and Cold Day - the start of Spring

Image
Thank you to Stephen and Lizzie Bourke for being led by their youngest son Ailbe, so he can pursue (instead of keeping up with school work) the stage, the boards, acting and theatre. When advised Legally Blond  was on at the Playhouse for a two week season, the Bikeriders selected the closing Saturday show on 8th Sept 2019 for the entertainment. Tickets were booked, and instead of trying to sort out a pre-show commercial venue for food and refreshments, Kimber put up the idea of 'curries at home from later afternoon'. And so it was. One of the two curries.   Easy to make, only a few spices, and in the slow cooker, get it going by 1pm and she's ready to feed, with mash potato, at 6pm  Peta and Lulu getting to know each other. "Will you be eating all your duck?" Said Lulu. "No" said Peta. "Why do you ask?" - then they walked hand in hand down to the edge of the garden and the friendship was cemented in love, and food...

The Stool Pigeons Fly the Coop

Image
Winter is here. 1st June and the pigeons have flown to northern regions. Fitz has taken his long silently suffering to France, where they will again be allowed to speak of the many secret things between couples.  Tony has packed his pedal bike, and shipped it to Germany, where he will tour the lowlands with his daughter, protected by accompanying Karen in the BMW or Mercedes tour vehicle. But whilst some fly way Peter, fly away Paul, others drive themselves back to Hobart from autumn holidays. Larkey returned after the very successful Saint Hill - Man Alive  release in Melbourne: see and listen to clips: Cut and paste into your browser):  https://sainthill.bandcamp.com/album/man-alive With strains of the famous Robert Smith band "The Cure", along with the eponymous Robert Zimmerman, the Saint Hill rendezvous with musical fame is upon us. Larkey will be truly living off the earnings! His retirement from invigilating will be complete. Porter was his reliable self, wi
