around the bay in a day... well, part of it

every october they hold an event in melbourne called "around the bay in a day" where folk of all abilities get on their bikes and cover whatever distance they can manage of port phillip bay:


one of the highlights of the day is that the 50km ride crosses the westgate bridge, usually closed to cyclists and foot passengers. so we decided to get a piece of the action and go with them. we ended up cycling all the way to altona with the pack before breaking off due to some serious saddle soreness on my part. seriously, i am hardcore, my seat was just more hard than my core...

so we caught a train back to the city where i bought a new seat that i am happy to say has given me no gip since sunday 19 october - hooray!
