March 2022 – Wrap

It’s been a good month and first quarter 2022 for cycling, allowing me to finish it with 33% of the annual challenge completed. That will be needed when winter comes in and riding reduces. The March total shows as “Goal Not Met” at 88% complete. That’s because I set it at 750 kilometres expecting to ride the Edge of The World trip – which was, of course, cancelled due to covid. After being a little demotivated in February it was good to be back in the saddle and enjoying the cycling.

Going up “The Grunter”

There’s been an infestation of electric scooters in Launceston.

It’s been some time since Colin and I cycled to Meander and up the steep hill to Huntsman Lake. A hill known to some as “The Grunter”.

I recently scheduled it but things like high winds (75kph gusts) and other stuff got in the way. On Friday the day dawned windless and almost cloud free. Great. Let’s go!!
