Nightshift last night, had 3 hours sleep and up. Noisy teenagers on school hols, had some brekky and fanny'd around for a couple of hours... hmmm 33°C and humid, I'll go for a cruisy gravel ride.
Was feeling good so headed to the newly opened Happy Valley Reservoir for a loop, there's 2 x ~10km loops, the fenceline and the shoreline with a few detours, so probably 25km all up with about 200vm climbing per lap. This is being designated as part of SA's new Glenthorne National Park.
No vehicles, just joggers, walkers and a squillion kangaroos that have been born inside the 600ha reservoir enclosure and never been outside the razor wire fence.
About 12km from home (50km ride) I hit the wall, no food for 7hrs, 3hrs sleep in 36hrs, hot, humid and feeling a bit cooked... still felt good to get out.
