There are lots of things I don’t really understand in life. One of those things is the Melbourne Cup. For goodness sake, why does the whole country get so excited about a bunch of strangely dressed men riding horses. Suddenly everyone’s an expert. Every two bit celebrity is giving their tip and the country gambles away millions of dollars. I really can’t get excited about the whole deal. I can’t tell you who won but apparently the horse is owned by a tuna fisherman from South Australia.

Two days off the bike and it was a real pleasure to get back on today for the ride to work. I could have done without the wind trying to push me back home but conditions were perfect otherwise. (Maybe the breeze will still be blowing that way when I head home.)
I must admit I’m finding it a bit hard trying to get back into ‘normal life’ (whatever that is) after returning from a ride across Australia. I cycled in a team from Perth, Western Australia, to Hobart, Tasmania. 4233.77km in 32 days. I’m glad my work isn’t strictly 9 to 5. I don’t think I could handle that right now.
The good thing about coming back home is that I’m with my family again. I missed them like you wouldn’t believe while I was away. It’s good to have somewhere to come back to.
