Nice day to be bike riding and running. Three of us ventured out on the mountain bikes with leader Kevvie promising to keep me in cotton wool & bubble wrap to stay safe for SFT, now just 9 days away.
We stayed on the cycle paths up Isabella Dr to Fadden Pines. Stopped for a drink, then a loop around the back of Gilmore houses and down to Johnson Dr. We stopped at Dave's place in Gilmore to visit his son who had sprained an ankle playing basketball ( I think ) last night. Very similar injury to me a couple of weeks ago when I went over the handle bars of the bike on a Thursday ride. He was doing all the right things, the RICE treatment, foot in the air, compression bandage, ice playing games on the computer and listening to music. I'm sure it helps the healing process, as long as he eats the rice after the treatment.
Then just after leaving, we met Ollie, one of those small yapping dogs. Ollie had got away from his owner and was just going to have fun. Fun it was watching owner chase Ollie all around the reserve, just getting close enough to almost catch Ollie, then away Ollie goes. We laughed at both, for different reasons.
Then, a little later, Kevvie has a puncture, back tyre. He carries a spare tube and pump, but getting the wheels back on with the bike upside down was something to watch. A couple of dummies playing, the other bike beside as if it was a pattern to follow. Finally done, Dave goes home, probably to have a midday nap, we head back to work.
Still time for a run before second part of lunch. Easy down to Pine Is, around the area and back to the central beach for 15 minutes in the water. The water is cooling off nicely now and well worth the benefit for recovery.
