Here we are at the end of another day!!!

I was up at about 7.00 am with a brief look at the news before having breakfast 

I was able to look after Mikayla at breakfast whilst Jenita took Cooper to kindergarten.

After this it was off on a bike ride to meet Abdy for a ride up the 1:20 road to Sassafras. The weather at the start of the ride was relatively cool but as the day wore on it warmed up nicely.

The route took us along the rail line to Heathdale railway station then along the Eastlink trail to the Dandenong Creek trail to Bayswater and on up to the Basin... all good but pretty much uphill most of the way.

After a short break it was time to do the 7 km climb up the 1:20 to Sassafras.... the ride for me was made much worse as the terrible noise in the crank returned again which was most disconcerning as I made my way up the hill.... yuck!

Arriving at the top after climbing for about 30 Minuit was great to have another drink and short rest before the decent which took 10 minutes....

At the Basin Abdy and I had a coffee in the park and were fortunate to meet a couple of other riders who were formerly from Whitehorse Cyclists... good to have a chat 

After the coffee we had a good trip home despite the wind which started to blow reasonably strongly as we made our way.

We arrived at the end of the ride at about 1.30pm and we both remarked how we enjoyed the ride.

Arriving home I had lunch and made my way to the bike shop to get the crank sorted out again... I am sure the problem will be found by my friends at Cycleinn.

After this I made a visit to Alkira to have a chat with the CEO Lisa Sawatzky to see how the Board communication I prepared had been received by our community.... seems it is getting a great response.

After this I made a visit to the building site of the new Alkira Springfield project where the base slab had just been poured.... looks great!!!

After this it was home to light the fire ahead of a Zoom call with my mates from The Australian Club. Great to catch up with the guys who seem to be doing well in these interesting times 

All in all a good day of exercise and achievement 

Now for the photos ....
