My Actifit Report Card: May 16 2020

Cool morning to start with showers forecast. Sky looked more promising than that. Went out on one of my favourite Hunter Valley rides towards the Watagan Mountains. Garmin was not charged - back up to record ride on Fitbit and on phone. That worked.

Ride goes from Cessnock through Bellbird and turns left to Ellalong at the foot of the mountains. Gears on bike are a bit jumpy which makes going uphill hard work - never sure chain will stay on. Basically have to ride like a 5 speed - 3 on front chain rings and 2 on back below jumpy bit

Through Ellalong turn left toward Quorrobolong on the Milfield to Mulbring road. This was busier than normal. Great views of the mountains to the right.

Turn left away from the mountains toward Cessnock and Werakata State Conservation Area.

This side of the valley is cattle and coal country with a colliery still operating in the village of Kitchener. No stops for orchids today.

Nice run down hill into the village and along the flat toward Cessnock. Cruised the high street looking for bike shop. It was not where it used to be - thinking it had closed I finished the ride. 34 kms done in just under 2 hours. Not much credit from Fitbit for that effort. Wife tells me bike shop has moved to other end of the high street. Will go next week.

Lunch at home before heading out to Wollombi to visit a friend. Lockdown restrictions have been eased to allow us to make visits. Our friend has not had any such visits in 8 weeks - newly separated this has been a hard time for her. Glad we made the effort.

Dinner: Chicken, bacon and sundried tomato pasta using buckwehat pasta. Worked well.

Watched Mamma Mia for the nth time. Corny but fun.

Trade action from Friday night: Bought PEP, SGEN. A few covered calls for June and naked puts on GDX
