Big thanks for the company today, glad it all came together rather smoothly after my stuff-arounds re: some Gumtree sales and early morning pickups etc.
The buyer turned out genuine, was on time and the deal was done, all fixed in under a minute.

Enjoyed the sunshine and autumn-ish temps (less so the crowds, but hey... it's suburbia after all!)
Point Cook Homestead was a real find! Good call, chief!

Zero-"PAS" here, the headwinds on the return were a PITA requiring an extra Magnesium cramp-buster pill tonight (or 2).

Life on the Bay.... birds, boats, and other floaters.

No, not going to Bonnie Doon, Altona will do for the start

By then the headwinds were constant, the legs had turned to butter and ~50k's had proven enough.
Will have to do at least the first few k's again some time the skies are clear and the CBD-skyline shows better than on this murky, old day (Marty's pics come to mind here).

Great day out and about, thanks to Goodie and Michael!

Don't think my riding partners liked some of the little hills - there a coupla nasty little buggers.

Any time on the saddle (motorbike, eBike or pushy) is good time. Standby for next Saturday's (or other day) next eBike and pushy ride details.
