A highly successful day. MarkO and I were dispatched to the far reaches of Brighton to rescue Jo's car, with the aid of a little manipulation, a few choice words, and a judicious application of Brute Force and Ignorance we coaxed it into having two gears, first and third. A nail-biting drive home, but infinitely better than having to tow it.

Feeling that a job well done deserved some reward, we spent the rest of the afternoon riding around in the sunshine, out from Donacaster to Warrandyte, listening to the birds and the river, and the odd shout of abuse from the petrol-heads who aren't fond of cyclists.
