I attended a training course in town all this week, so I rode in, a 32.9Km round trip. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Brisbane has a nice end-of-trip facility, so I got a 5-day membership for $30. I got to start every day with a nice bike ride.. what could be better!

Only problem was the return trip. At that time of day (4PM), it's quite hot (35+ degrees C) and I found myself struggling. On a couple of the rides, I ended up having to pull over and pour water over my head to forcibly cool down.

That said, I made a point of taking it easy on the return trips. Well, as easy as I can take.. the moment someone passes me, it's on for young and old, and I must catch them, pass them, and put enough distance between us that they can't catch me again. I'm far too competitive for my own good.. as evidenced by the fact that I had to pull over to cool down

Anyway.. long story short - I had a great week of commuting.
