A w/e of cycling!

 Well, a week (or so) of cycling!

Started with the Cadel w/e of cycling, the Vegemite family ride, then the ‘people’s ride’ & then the professionals. See below for pix of the 50km people’s & then the start of the women’s ride.

Then, the M2W was on, so rode out to watch the start - (very) strong Westerly wind, so pulled off ASAP & watched them go by. A lot of police cars - including a BMW SUV?

That was a lot of fun!

Could not have done it myself (?) of course, but was interesting to see so many participants!

In other news:

• Applied for a job with GRLC;
• Did a self-assessment with Bolle - I could be focussing on the wrong things here;
• Fell over the (rear) fence! Not sure what happened there, but went to spray with glyphosate & right leg refuses to lift over the gate, so ended up A/T :( Also, spilled glyphosate all over the footpath! Sore & bruised after that; and,
• Have run out of $$$ :( Got on to CLK, to submit an application … need to provide bank transactions, either in person or by post & you can’t progress your application until submitted. So, went into the office - where there were four staff, but only one was actually servicing clients, with another acting as a receptionist … oh, also two (2) security guards! After that, path was unlocked :p so that an appointment could be booked. At appointment time, was sitting indoors at Deakin cafe, waiting. Phone rings once & then call terminated, with no ‘caller ID’, so I ‘presume’ it was CLK? This would be ultra vires! After all, cannot go any further until CLK is satisfied <sigh>

So, went to pub & had two (2) beers - except that they ran out of Red & had to have a Green! Then walked home & got rained on - had to shelter in Red Cross until it settled down!

Addendum: so, sent a 'suggestion' to CLK re need to let phone ring, on 03/02/23 & somebody called today! Seemed to have a lot of difficulty understanding that a bank statement had been provided :o & then terminated the call :( <JFC>
