Canberra's lovely for short or long rides and I took full advantage of the cool, spring weather to rebuild some resilience for >100km rides.

Last weekend was north on some unfamiliar roads towards Murrumbateman and yesterday was south, on a more familiar route, to Tidbinbilla.

The rides were mostly sealed roads with a little gravel to reach some alternative or less accessible spots.

A couple of big rides over the last two days: Out west to the Cotter and then south to Tidbinbilla with brunch in Tuggers at Two Before Ten after following a single-track path along the Murrumbidgee river. Good ride: 80km, 1085m climbing.

Today we went out to Googong Dam, battling consistent headwinds and lots more hills! Brunch at Ma Ma Dumplings at the Fyshwick Markets!
66km, 966m climbing.

That's 200km for the week and 2600m of climbing. I'm having tomorrow off!

A big ride out south, towards Tidbinbilla, and I rode a couple of sections I've never done before - visiting the tracking station and a ride around the nature reserve.

It was a great ride on a beautiful autumn day here in the ACT - mist on the river and low cloud clinging to the high slopes, sunshine in a big, open sky and a light, cool breeze. It's good to be alive!

Distance: 106.20 km | Elev Gain: 1,498 m
