Parking

I like the Chatswood Fitness First because it has a pool. The really big bummer is that parking in this area is real lousy. At the club you get 2 hours free. How can you get a real workout in 2 hours? It took 10 minutes to find a parking space. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 1 hour body pump. I spoke to the membership consultant about transferring my membership here from singapore. I did not have time to dab sweat off my neck and I had to pay $6 because I was 10 minutes past the 2 hours.

There is are 3 hour free parking space at the shopping center. a short walk away but not quite condusive when its dark and cold.

There is also a dodgy 2 hour place free with any purchase but so narrow ramps I have bitter thoughts about what happened.

I havent even started about Delhi Road, the winding one lane route that goes through a nature reserve. For sure I will be confident about taking my parents to the Blue mountains by November. Good practice.

There is another club closer to my office. Free unlimited parking. But to get there you go into a very busy road. Jammed up by 5pm going up hill. And I keep missing the turn and then I have to go around 3km. This road is full of booby traps.

So I am adrenalined rushed even before I lace up.

I have another round of road familiarising when I move to my new place this weekend. The route so far looks pleasant enough, if you avoid the jam. One learns to change the body clock.
