The corner of Blackburn Road and Burwood Highway

Long rides and getting kms in my legs is the hardest part of this training malarkey I reckon. So it's the small things that I cling on to - the corner of Blackburn Road and Burwood Highway is proving to be one of these! 

Discovering long rides beyond the Kew Boulevard has been really enjoyable and I sadistically actually love the 1 in 20 section of the Mt Dandenong ride. TP1 co and I have tackled this a couple of times in recent weeks and this morning Monday (my beautiful new bike)  got her longest ride yet. Finishing up the 70km circuit (not that long in the scheme of things I know - but Monday is still pretty new) 'the corner' did not fail to disappoint. Normally it's a local starting their day with a cheeky JD can or someone looking like they are off to Kmart to test security measures. Today I got the hugest belly laugh when I saw this lady's innovative transport method for her newly acquired tree. After numerous travels to South East Asia this really didn't surprise me - photo isn't the best but check out the use of the pram to balance the tree! 


Ps I did all of this on an almighty hangover - it was an uncle v v moment which hasn't been experienced since the Oxford days.
