Day 29: Wed 18 Mar - Canberra

15-24 deg C, overcast and cool, but no rain
Ride G: 66km; total: 657km
Ride W: 66km; total: 386km

We waited for it to warm up a little bit and let the traffic ease before we set off for Tuggeranong on the bikes this morning. We were on the C5 path all the way, and while it is pretty good condition for most of the ride, it is very rough and bumpy in lots of small sections where the tree roots were lifting the bitumen.  We suspect some paths might not have been touched since they were laid in the 1980s. However, any path beats mixing it with the traffic, especially with Canberra drivers. We found the place we had coffee at about 10 years ago and ordered breakfast and two large coffees not realising just how LARGE they really were. Greg's poached eggs on sourdough was just what he wanted and Wendy's breakfast wrap was full and delicious. The coffees were also pretty good. We came home via the C4 and C3 paths, that seemed to be better than the C5, just so we would have a loop and a few more km on Strava. 

Back at home we had a wash, then a little rest. We were both still full of breakfast/mornos we didn't need lunch. By dinner time though, we were quite peckish. We had leftover lasagne, roast veggies and oxtail stew. Another nice day, our second last in Canberra for this trip.
