Haven't been this way for a while so back around the creek, up Ferndale track and down the Anniversary trail -- nearly spat out my coffee when I realised later that the strava segment "bless the rain in africa" was all about the shape. Despite the playgrounds being closed there's still a few kids in each of them and this time it looks as though the councils haven't bothered closing everything off with tape -- except for the BMX track where they've plonked huge concrete barriers on top of each large jump. Of course the 20-30 kids there ignored them and use all the rest of the park that they can get to, swerving around the edges of the barricades. Heading home at the golf course I met up with two yoof poking at the broken cassette of one of their MTBs, all the rings loose and rattling around and the derailleur almost snapped off up into the mess. As I slowed to see if any tools I had would help he proudly told me that it was ok, he couldn't pedal but the 2-stroke motor would get him home. Ah, illegal stinky bike and the after-market motor has destroyed the cassette Scattered clouds, 17°C, Feels like 16°C, Humidity 47%, Wind 2m/s from NNW - by Klimat.app
