Today is a key day - October 1 and the start of my 14 the year of the Great Cycle Challenge for Kids Cancer. That means get out on the bicycle and ride for the kids. Chart shows the legacy of the last 13 years - $3 per km ridden
The next chart shows how much I have cycled in the last 12 months. Two spikes are two cycle tours with my Bike Friday friends. That spike in October 2025 has a story - on the last day I noticed a bump-bump on the back wheel on a big downhill. Cracked rim. Got it fixed and have.nit ridden that bike in Sydney since. Why? Do not feel safe cycling from my home in Gordon - hilly and busy roads
Did have an idea to ride a bit from home before pickleball. As a pickleball session delivers 10k steps no need to go over the top. Chose not to ride
Used the morning time to finish last week's investing post. You can follow the ups and down in nuclear and precious metals plus a fee other ideas here https://mclnks.com/tib829
Now to the pickleball session. Played with new people - 3 of them had very different techniques to the converted tennis players. All about soft shots and angles. Cannot say it was good but sure learned a lot - do like a bit of power play. Frustrating part was the players were not good at moving up to the net - not my place to teach people I am new to
A bother for the day was how bad the haircut was yesterday. Kitty has cut my hair before - this time she was keen to cut out all the curls. Hair is now shorter than it has ever been - worse than an army haircut
Took a snap of my 1975 platoon photo taken just before deployment. Note there is hair longer than yesterday's cut. Not a lot as we were shorn short before deployment. Other thing to note is regiment emblem - the buck - is not sitting in the correct place. It is supposed to be directly above the eye
Did cook dinner - Thai pad kha prao - beef mince with basil from scratch
There will be cycling done for Kids Cancer this month. You can check the page here at https://mclnks.com/kidscancerride
