Roobaix

Today I am riding the Melburn Roobaix, approximately 40km through the back streets and alleys of Melbourne.

Fortunately, the weather this morning, while cold, is mostly clear.  And the forecast has improved to no longer hail. 

I had almost talked Ruthie into doing it too, but then when it didn't promise to be sunny and 70°F, her dislike for riding a bicycle won out.  Instead she made capes for me and the guy who talked me into doing this.  [Yes, I know that sentence is grammatically incorrect, but I'm okay with it in this case.]

So I've got the GoPro set with an empty memory card with my fingers crossed that the battery will last long enough to run time lapse for the duration.

Earthquake

So Melbourne totally had an earthquake last night, complete with numerous aftershocks.  News

EDIT - And we missed it!  I reckon that a. we were too far away [on the west side of the city at the time] and 2. we were likely in the car at the time.

Naturally, the internet went crazy and like a million meme images sprung forth.  This would be my favourite.


Now, back to your regularly scheduled lack of writing [I promise I actually have been working on two or three more posts, I just haven't finished them ....].
