Day 1861 #Pedal2Work

Cool start to the ride to #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail, but the ride was comfortable in a short amount of time. Was able to hang on behind a road bicycle rider about half way through and maintain a good pace. Hoping for more tshirt riding weather.

Day 1860 #Pedal2Work

Cool start of the day while riding into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Saw a few other people riding their bicycles along the trail too, and thankfully there weren't that many cars out and about the time I was riding so it felt very safe to ride.

Another unbelievable tragedy, we've been so desensitised to road violence that we aren't rioting on our streets to demand safer streets from cars and trucks.

Day 1859 #Pedal2Work

Another great spring day to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. The weather was very pleasant, even though there was a headwind for around a quarter of the ride. Started listening to a new series of podcasts from @mtggoldfish.com. I'm on Dragons of Tarkir.

Day 1858 #Pedal2Work

Lovely spring morning to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. There wasn't too much of a headwind until I got to the office, and it was t-shirt weather all the way. Good to see a few other people riding their bicycles along the river trail too. 😀👍🚲

Day 1857 #Pedal2Work

Felt cool in the morning before my ride to #Melbourne CBD, so made the choice to wear a jacket. I've made the same mistake this week. A few minutes in and it was very warm to ride. Couldn't be bothered stopping to take the jacket off. Oh well... 👍😀🚲

Many Magic: The Gathering players do not realize just how important @scryfall.com is to the MTG community. The number of websites, tools, articles and other resources which rely upon it in order to function is huge.

There's a never ending number of opinions about Magic out there, but we think the majority of the player base agrees, Scryfall is an invaluable resource.

So this week Graham sits down with the founder of Scryfall, Corey Csuhta for a chat! youtu.be/8D-3dbB5Sqw

Day 1856 #Pedal2Work

A pleasant ride to #Melbourne CBD along the main Yarra Trail. Was a little cool to start with, so took off wearing a jacket, and by the time it was too warm for the jacket, I was not far for the office - so just rode in the rest of the way. 🚲👍😀

Day 1855 #Pedal2Work

Cool start to a pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Not much of a headwind, but the temperature was less than expected. Some wet paths and roads were encountered, but nothing that caused problems. Hoping to dodge the rain on the way home tonight.

Day 1854 #Pedal2Work

Stopped for a #quax along the way to #Melbourne CBD. Since my better half has been enjoying having a jug of coffee on standby, we're close to empty. Nothing better than buying ground beans by bike. No parking hassles - just in and out #LifeIsBetterOnABicycle

Day 1853 #Pedal2Work

It was a cool start in the morning for the ride to #Melbourne CBD, and I was thinking it was going to be wet. Turned out it was mild and had a strong headwind for most of the way - so the jacket I was wearing was keeping me too warm. Oh well... 🚲👍😀

Day 1852 #Pedal2Work

Strong headwind encountered along the way to #Melbourne CBD. Had a break for a little bit as I was able to shelter behind another rider, but then he slowed down and let me pass, then jumped on behind me. Still better than being stuck in a car.

Day 1851 #Pedal2Work

The rains overnight got me to choose riding on the roads to #Melbourne CBD this morning. The ride was quick and didn't seem to have many cars around me the time I was travelling. Not sure if people are away or the weather got them to work from home.

Day 1850 #Pedal2Work

Lovely day for a ride to #Melbourne CBD this morning. Weather was comfortable to ride in a tshirt, and there was less traffic on the roads while I was riding. Good to be back on the bicycle after a long weekend. 🚲👍😀

Day 1849 #Pedal2Work

Slightly cool ride into #Melbourne CBD hoping there wasn't going to be any rain. Luckily, for me, the rain didn't come until later in the day. The ride home in the evening was in the damp, but still enjoyable. #LifeIsBetterOnABicycle 🚲👍😀

Day 1848 #Pedal2Work

Pleasant ride to #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Back to wearing a tshirt instead of the jacket. Weather was pleasant - a little cool, but very comfortable. Some sports riders were out on a training session, but they were too fast for me to keep up.

Day 1847 #Pedal2Work

Wet ride with some patches of rain along the way to #Melbourne CBD this morning. Luckily I was wearing the usual jacket, and while that got wet, I was relatively comfortable. Didn't end up getting soaked which was a blessing. End of trip shower was pleasant.

Day 1846 #Pedal2Work

Felt like a quick ride for most of the way into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Didn't get any headwind until I was near the office. Not many people out riding today. Didn't notice many people driving their cars on the roads either.

Day 1845 #Pedal2Work

Pleasant day, although slightly breezy, as I rode my bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. Saw many people riding their bicycles this morning, and was able to hop between groups, getting shielded from the headwind at times. Some effort still required. 🚲👍😀

Day 1844 #Pedal2Work

Windy ride into #Melbourne CBD, but at least most of the rain from yesterday had gone and most of the paths were dry. Was able to hop on the back of a big bunch of road bike riders and stay with them to the office. It cut down on some of the effort. 🚲👍😀

ric_man @ricman.bsky.social · 28d

Day 1843 #Pedal2Work

Another windy ride to #Melbourne CBD this morning taking the Main Yarra Trail. No one else rode around the time I was going to the office so I was stuck having to battle the headwind all the way. Happy to get to the office. 🚲👍😀

Day 1842 #Pedal2Work

Very pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning, even with the headwind that I encountered for the majority of the ride. Was lucky enough to jump on the back of a bunch of road bike riders and get some shelter. Still was an effort, but not a huge one.

Day 1841 #Pedal2Work

Back on the bicycle after 2 weeks off. Felt great to ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning as the sun was out and there were many other people riding their bicycles too. Was not feeling the best for 2 weeks and took public transport instead. Cost over $100.

ric_man @ricman.bsky.social · Aug 22

Day 1840 #Pedal2Work

Another day, another ride to #Melbourne CBD, another #quax along the way, another scenario of rockstar parking. Grabbing some bags of ground up coffee beans this time. Weather was pleasant, and felt warmer than usual. Better than the cold snap last week.
