Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Australia Day Ride

Happy Australia Day!

Are there any other Australians celebrating Australia Day by going for a ride? We're about to head off to our chosen start location in a few minutes.

So far, it is beautiful out there ... sunny and 21C.

We did a really nice 45 km ride from Mansfield (near where the movie Man from Snowy River was filmed) to an arm of Lake Eildon and back. Lake Eildon is so full this year from all the rain. It was a great day for a ride. When we returned to the van, we took a trip into the hills to learn a little bit about Ned Kelly, one of Australia's villain/heros.










Anyone else ride today?
