Rocket's run

Not much to do today; did housework etc yesterday. Tried to lighten a bleh mood by taking the electric bicycle, now named Rocket, out for a ride to find out just where the dedicated bike path begins, what the terrain is like and so on. I've seen on a map but like to scout in person. This is Guildford Road, so there's a two to three train station gap between home and the path. Both sides of the train line are fairly busy but there is a dual-use path from home to Guildford Road which I understand I can use so long as Rocket behaves like a bicycle :-) I hope so; I've never liked mixing it up with traffic when riding a bike. It feels like wearing a large target sign on my back. If I have to, I can ride Rocket without power from Bassendean to just past Ashfield.

Then I can use the dedicated path so long as I pedal! I'll be really glad when the law changes and electric bikes under a certain power will be allowed to use the paths without restriction. Even going all out, the lycra brigade can still outdistance me. Electric bike or not, I am intimidating nobody!

Got a kebab on the way past, glad to find that the world's best kebab shop, hiding in Ashfield, is now within easy reach.

Btw, totally unrelated, a young female rat with Perth Rat Rescue has just been blessed with 15 little ones, so if anyone is thinking about getting some rats, PRR has them! This is a big litter but I'm told all are doing well.
