Jeez! Its pretty quite today in the old forum! Not
everyone lives in the east do they? wouldn have loved to
go on a public holiday ride today, fantastic day in
perth.....

Ride a bike today? Nope. The sort of Melbourne weather that brings out the old tradition of wiping the seats at the footy.

Atherton Tablelands - 25 knot SE winds, so what do we do? We
choose to do a 90 kms ride right into them! Fortuneately we
know some great little farm roads that kept us off the main
highway for most of our ride from Atherton to Innnot Hot
Springs, an obscure little siding with a pub, thermal
springs and a camp ground. It was with great delight we got
there in one piece, still smiling and not totally exhausted!
Finally we are fit enough to think of other things beside
tired and aching bodies and sore bums! The road trains and
the caravans were a bit of a bother today coming home, but
hey you cant have everything 🙂 Lets hope when ER goes her
long weekend doesnt go with her!

Not too sure why we in WA have to be different, but any long
weekend is a good one. But on a better subject, we loved
living (house sitting on top of the hill) up there in
Atherton (Oct02-Apr03) when we did our round Oz bike ride(Nov01-
Sep04), and loved the bit out to IHS and beyond. Fabulous
memories of a wonderful area, and a fabulous ride around Oz.
Road trains were interesting then as well
:-)

yeah, the closest I got to the bike today was to replace a
missing spoke on the MTB...

So....:-) A couple of us went from Essendon to Macedon, Mt.
Macedon, Woodend, Lancefield and back home - an imperial
century. The getting to Lancefield is best not remembered -
COLD, wet and BLOODY W I N D Y !! The tailwind from
Lancefield to Tulla airport was much appreciated as was the
hot shower, cold beer and hot piza when we got back.

Maybe because _last_ weekend was our foundation day holiday?

And it was a great weekend for cycling too. Mild
temperatures, and plenty of time to dry out between the
odd showers.

Well, I wheeled a couple of bikes into the kitchen while I
cleaned up the spare room and rearranged the house in
general. Other than that, I had a party-priority w/e 🙂

hippy
