$50M from the Labor 'Government' for the Bike Group

This morning we rode out to Mona, and on the way met Bill Shorten. He asked us who we voted for, and we kept schtumm. He offered $50M as encouragement. Obviously there is an amount more than that in it for him if we 'swing' his way.

Whilst waiting for the money to flow down from the carbon credits, we kept riding our old bikes. No point spending what might not happen.

Report on injuries and incapacities:

Porter: shoulder. Should be out for 4 games. Hopes to be back in for the grand final.
Bourke: blow to the artistic temperament. Has to spend time in Victoria looking at artwork and museums. Should be back in training on Tuesday at the GFC Lunch.

Stats:
Today's ride from RYCT to Mona, left about 0930hrs, and return about 1200noon, due to time spent chatting, and inspecting the new bridge over the highway.
Comment on that is that it obscures the view of the mountain from the cenotaph, and from the 120,000 cars a day which go under it, visitors to Tasmania. Somehow, that seems acceptable and the bridge, now finished, has some pleasant architectural aspects.

Actual time in the saddle: 1 hr 45min
Distance: 32.27 km
Average speed 18.2 km/hr
Maximum: 43.7 km/hr
