Id rather be commuting in this heavy rain than being off work with a crook back. Getting old sucks.

rode my checkpoint with my new gravel wheels this morning. apart from the gears needing a bit of a tweak it feels smoother and a little bit faster
geez it was already warm (37 top temp today in brissy). apparent temp was already 30 at 6:30am

Back at work started commuting last week, 11kms both ways so far made it 7 days in a row.

Nice route along Lower Dandenong Creek Trial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandenong_Creek_Trail so bike path majority of the way.

Goal this year to commute at least 4 days a week and remove car, started on my E Bike but will move to hybrid when back up to speed and legs and backside back into it

Heres the commuter

Agree with this - haven't had many sick days in the last 7 or 8 years
