Rolling on

No work today. Instead I took a bit of a ride to test my new saddle and see how much my ankle could bear.


School group riding on the jety

A low tide allowed me to get a different perspective on Nightcliff Jetty.










Later after sunset I went for a moonlight ride around the neighborhood and a little beyond.

There are so many special aspects to night riding, especially during a full moon.


The wind and air temperature are less, no chance of sunburn, the scent of blossoms can be really intense. Sometimes bats will fly overhead or right toward you, can be daunting when it's a fruit bat. 



Tonight the air was thick with the perfume of Moria bushes and rotting mango.



Results: I prefer the new saddle to my old one but not ideal for the angle I sit.




My left foot is still recovering and not ready for big miles yet.
