First day of below zero temperatures this morning. Also first day back on the bike after a deflationary pause. I thought I had better ease myself in gently so I did my short ride to Bunnings then around the edge of town, up Ugoa St past the lake and to Railway St before coming home. #cycling #Narrabri
