Day 21: Sat 05 Mar – Canberra

Ride: 53 km 

Greg needed a replacement part (water hose connection) for the van and we found a place in Fyshwick.  So, after late'ish breakfast we set off on the bikes.  It was a lovely ride along the edges of Lake Burley-Griffin.  Becasue it was such a nice day we decided to stop off in the city for lunch (Civic Food Court) and then browse the bike shops in Lonsdale St.  The ride home after that was not that much fun – mostly uphill in 36 deg C heat! We only got home at 2:30pm and had to be at Mick and Kate's in Kambah at 5pm, so after a cool down, then a snooze, we showered and drove to Kambah.  M&K had kindly asked all the old cycle group mates around for a BBQ and it was an excellent night (complete with torrential downpour) and we only left at 10pm, which meant we did not get into bed until after 11pm!!
