Mon-Tues day

Monday after riding down to check the post box at Cabba I checked the state of parts delivery at "Cabarita Beach Cycles -- o266761519" they had arrived so when I returned home I doubled the Giant with the old Peak MTB to get the service done by Jeff. I then decided to do the circuit on the old bike, stopping in at Hastings Point Headland to watch the whales on their way past returning to the Southern Ocean.

There were a at least 4 and they were quite close to shore and very energetic. I hung chatting with a local for a ½ hour or so then started back on the road finishing the 20k in a slow and steady flow.

Tuesday after checking the PO I found out the bike would be ready in a couple of hours. I road the Malvern Star down to double the Giant home a little later.

Then after getting home I took the now smooth gear change Giant for a quick circuit. 

Of note today and yesterday I monitored the Magpie and its approaches.

When there was 2 riders side by side it did not come close at all, When I was doubling the extra bike it approached but did not swoop closely.

But when I was just a single rider it swooped and clacked, making contact with the helmet up to 8 times .

It seems this Magpie might get a bit confused when there is more than one target.

All passes were made with no attempt to scare the bird off not even turning the head or raising the arm nor making any reaction to strikes when they came.
