Two wheel commute

As mentioned, no running/hiking today, 'just' the commute to and from work. Left at some ridiculous hour, covered the just over 30k distance in about 1:06 and felt reasonably decent. Roads are reasonably quiet at that time, mostly just buses and tradies, and everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. S'good.

The afternoons, however...gah. After a pretty physically tough day I gave up on alternative routes and just took Sandgate Road, which provided a rolling fest of trucks, buses, Mum's in 4WD's, utes, vans and so on. The added bonus was riding pretty much into a headwind the whole way and it was with much relief that I finally rolled into the driveway.

Still, 60k and 2+ hours on the bike - good base. Problem is, I've got to head out at about 9:30pm to go back to work for a few hours.
