This webpage will list my riding adventures
starting 3rd October 2022.

Wed 15th Jan 2025 - Home to The Spit - 33.19kms.

Today's highlight: was the joy of riding. (This is better than doing Chemo)

I left home about 5:53am. The breeze was bugger all from the North West. The Broadwater was calm.

As I haven't ridden very rarely since 16th Nov, I am decided to ride to The Spit and back and see how I feel.
So I headed straight to the Sundale Bridge, through the Broadwater Parklands.

Over the Bridge and through the Southport YC then along the Shared Path, towards The Seaway/Spit, via the jetties of Marina Mirage, a lap of the Seaworld Carpark. The beauty of leaving early, there is less people on the Shared Paths. Through the Muriel Henchman carpark, rode to the tip of the Moondarewa Spit, took more photos then finally made it to the tip of the Seawall/Spit. Stopped and took my photos and ate my banana.

On New Year Day, a portion of the Federation Walk bush (gravel path surrounded by bush that runs from The Seaway/Spit to Main Beach) caught fire. So I left The Spit, and continued along the Federation Walk looking for the burnt area. Today, I stopped 2 workers to ask where it is. I still haven't found any burnt area. I will keep looking. God, life is so tough.

I continued homeward, did a lap of 'our' caravan park, there were 203 occupied caravan sites out of 230 sites.

Arrived at home. Another great, enjoyable ride.
