Bike Ride

This morning I studied while Aunt Sue and Jeff did the final works on their business here. The afternoon was spent doing a "quick" bike ride along the Yarra River in Melbourne.

We rented bikes from city from a program called Melbourne BikeCity. It is an initiative to get people to use greener technology and to improve tourism. You rent a bike for $2.60 for the day. These bikes are heavy as all hell. They probably weight about 15 lbs.

Jeff wanted to bike along the river so we did. Since Aunt Sue and I had gone along the river out of the city the plan was to go inner city along the river. We rode on highways without helmets and then got caught in some industrial area - all Aunt Sue directions. The executive decision to turn around was made. We rode along the river for probably 8 km total in about an hour and a half.

My calves and quads still hurt and I did this ride yesterday arvo.
