Today I rode about 18km, to the doctor and back, to X-ray the foot I bruised falling off at the beginning of yesterday's 15km ride). It isn't broken (probably - he wants me to go back on Monday to be sure).
One bit of heart trouble when it got hot early afternoon at the start of my return journey, other than that a perfect day.
Not a huge distance, but very satisfying for someone who can't walk without aids. I tow my granny-walker (rollator) behind the bike and strap my walking sticks to the seat back.
Yesterday a police car did a u-turn and came back just to take photos! They were laughing… I wonder why?

Since I made my last post, I have added a trailer. I can now take our dog, Katie, to the start of the bike path network, let her out and ride while she runs. She jumps in the trailer when she wants a rest, on sections of path where the visibility isn't good (I don't want her causing another cyclist to crash), places where I have to ride on the road for a while and even when she finds other dogs we meet a little too boisterous!
I've been riding between 12km and 40 km a day. Today was a short ride, because she and I both found the heat (37ºC/98.6F) a little overwhelming. I coped by drinking plenty and soaking my shirt frequently with water from a spray bottle. Katie wore a soaked teatowel over her shoulders.
The forecast for tomorrow is more of the same.
I have to go to the doctor; I wonder if he'll mind me turning up with wet clothes?

My bike ride route was
Narraweena to Sydney Olympic Park to Narraweena.
On the way to Sydney Olympic Park I cycled via Tempe to be a volunteer in the Bicycle NSW event Gear Up Girl.
From Tempe I cycled along the Cooks River shared path and the signed bike route to Sydney Olympic Park.
On the return ride to Narraweena I cycled along the ANZAC and Sydney Harbour Bridges.
Distance 90.43km
I've been laid up for a week, so I haven't ridden since Monday of last week. But that was a good weekend! Yes, I overdid it by a humongous margin and will probably be paying for it for a month, but it was well worth it.
On Sunday 13th, I had a long ride, taking the dog and the kiddie trailer. Hubby was playing in a chess tournament so he had taken the car and the big trailer to somewhere near the War Memorial. I rode along the paths from Duffy through to the north shore of Lake Burley Griffin, allowing Katie to run whenever the visibility was good, and telling her to jump back in the trailer for narrow or twisty parts of the ride and whenever we had roads to negotiate.
When I got to the Commonwealth bridge, I rode across it and then along the southeastern shore to the rose gardens in front of Old Parliament House. I had registered online for the 25km Big Canberra Bike Ride so I was headed for the registration tent. There I signed in, picked up my ride number and T-shirt, had a rest and then headed back across the Kings Avenue Bridge and up through the side streets to the other side of the War Memorial where hubby had parked the car. We strapped Charlie and the kiddie trailer in the big trailer ready for the next morning, and hubby drove us all home. Katie was very, very tired!
Early Monday morning, hubby drove me to Canberra, parked just north of the Commonwealth Bridge and unloaded Charlie. I rode down to the start point where there were thousands upon thousands of other cyclists. Not being very quick, I joined near the rear.
It was huge fun! Being part of such a large number of cyclists was very exciting; I've never done anything like it before. There was a rest break about half way, and I didn't feel very tired so I only stopped for a couple of minutes and set off when another group did.
When I got back to the finish, I collected my certificate of completion and then went to the Heart Foundation tent where I was offered a massage, which I declined, and a T-shirt as a reward for fundraising, which I accepted.
Thanks to friends and family all over the world, I raised $515. Thanks to everyone!
As a request from some of my sponsors, I did the whole ride dressed as a pirate:
Just back from a 60km night ride in Tallebudgera Valley. Tonight I saw glow worms, crabs, frogs, canetoads, bats, a possum, a moon-rise and some mist forming over some of the flat stretches in the moonlight. I think I might have also managed to sweat off about 2kg in weight -- it was very, very hot. Add that to the 26km ride to and from work this morning, and it's not a bad day's work.

About 50 km on the Tour de Coffee Culture. A promotion run by a local chain of coffee shops, where you could go into the draw to win free coffee and other stuff.
The SW wind was nice when I wasn't biking into it. No rain would have been even better.
