This morning, I caught the train out to Elsternwick to meet Tony, for what’s becoming a regular Sunday ride.

It started out as a nice morning, but before I even got there, a cold south-westerly wind had picked up and made conditions less than ideal.

Once again, we didn’t set ourselves a cracking pace, preferring to ride just fast enough that we could still ride abreast and talk.

Along the esplanade, the tide was surging and crashing waves were breaking across the path. It was only by sheer luck that we managed to avoid getting wet.

Thankfully, the rain held off until the end of my ride, and I trailed off at South Oakleigh to meet up with family for lunch.

Map: 15.96 km, 57:49 minutes.

Today’s stats are a little inaccurate. I forgot to start the Cyclemeter app when we started out at Elsternwick station, and only remembered it when we reached had nearly reached the Yacht Club at Elwood.
