50ks today Nice round number that, f-i-f-t-y woohoo 21.8k average On the flat, perfect sunny autumn weather again and no wind. Had to stop a couple of times to stretch out dagger-like pain through my left shoulder/neck - frustrating, but manageable I guess.

Was thinking as I rode I should take my camera next time. Then we could have some autumn colours to go with the gorgeous spring blossom pics above.

Knew I'd be out for at least a couple of hours so rummaged around in the kitchen cupboards and unearthed half a bottle of energy/electrolyte drink leftover from my last foray into cycling. Expiry date 2002! It looked rather more syrupy than I remember but mixed up fine and tasted OK I found some equally ancient Leppin Squeezys too
