A couple of days early, my doctor had given me permission to ride a bike again after surgery. Time to go for it! I cycled up the Merri Creek Trail, to the hallowed land of McDonalds Corporation. I was briefly thrown by the fact that a red car was in a different spot than in the aerial imagery, but it didn't stop me achieving my goal. Then I had a chocolate thickshake and some French fries.

On the way back, I found myself following a bike path that had been an old train line, and thus discovered a rail trail I didn't know about.
