Apologies for the late stats upload, but here are Tuesday morning's stats.
Starting out it was Dy, Jen and me.

The plan was to take it easy along a fairly hilly course, keeping something in reserve for Tuesday evening's Twilight run. We started out bolting up Dean Street, then a bit of recovery along Newlands Avenue. At the M3 intersection we turned down towards the Shell for water, as this route has nothing after this point. From Shell, Jen opted to stick to the flatter 8km route past Newlands Cricket Grounds and over Belmont. Dy and I continued on towards Bishopscourt.
First, up Fernwood Avenue, we kept a comfortable pace. I was on auto-pilot, thank you Dy for keeping us on the right route!! We headed down Heath Road towards Riverside Road and Kirstenbosch Drive. From Kirstebosch we turned onto Bishopscourt Drive and headed towards Kirstenbosch, but after a long climb we turned up Norwich Road and an even steeper hill!!!! But this route is becoming a regular Hillbilly route by now, and somehow seemed easier than previous times yesterday!

From Norwich we rejoined Canterbury Drive. By this point Dy and I were having such a good chat that we completely missed our next turn-off onto Dunkeld. But in that area all roads run between Canterbury and Forest Avenue, so we quickly got back on-course.
We caught a lucky break in traffic back at M3 and crossed over quickly. Hills over, we floated down Bowood and onto Eden. More luck with traffic crossing over to the other side of Collington, we cruised along Kildare and Mains Street all the way back to Great Westerford.
Jen was long done with her run by this point - hope you had a good one :)
Dy collected her Twilight number and off we went to start our day.
