Yesterday (Saturday) ended up being quite a big day with a long push and helping with the build of the raised garden next to the deck. Henry arrived around 9am and as he started work on the raised garden Denise and I set out for a training push. We took off on the usual route (out and back course) and the weather was reasonably mild with a gentle NW wind. This wind seemed to build and made the push up Mitcham Road quite tough. Most of the push out ended up being fairly hard work with an average speed of only about 13km/hr. The trip back home was generally easier especially the run back down Mitcham Road with with speeds around 20 km/hr achieved quite easily. The trip home did get alot harder though as the wind seemed to swing around towards the west and increased in intensity, this made Hepburns Road a tough battle in to a head wind.
By the time the push was over the statistics for the training was;
Distance: 33km, Duration: 2 hrs 21 min, Avg Speed: 14km/hr
Following my push I had a lunch and a shower and then pitched into helping Henry with raised garden. Henry was busy cutting and jig sawing the hardwood planks together, no easy task. I started screwing the fastners, there must be over 300 screws required for this project and they all needed pre-drilling. The almost finished result though looks great.
