Kangaroo Point, BrisbaneLucky them! In the 1950s, we had no choice – cricket and rugby, games that I detest to this day. No one had thought of adventure sports being a suitable Saturday morning pursuit.
When the children are older they'll be off to the University of Queensland, where their instructors are probably studying, and have their own bicycle bridge to get there…

The Green Bridge across the Brisbane RiverIt's a bit unfair! Pedestrians, beyond the centre which is reserved for buses (no cars!), have their own covered walkway to the university. Cyclists get overheated on cloudless autumn days, too. Some more than others.

Saturday's ride took me from Brisbane's western suburbs through the centre of the city and down to the bay…
Mario's fare…
- Brisbane River flows from bottom right to top left. (Whoops! SW to NE)
- Brisbane River crossed six times.
- 16 km : The Green Bridge
- 28 km : Rock Climbers
- 42—108 km : Ride up to Mario's mobile coffee shop involving six crossings of Highway One (one over; five under).

- Heading North : triple-shot decaf flat white + carrot cake
- Heading South : lemon sorbet (to die for!)

Not often does it hit 60 F in March in these parts. Too nice of a day not to take a ride down to the freeway overlooking Lake Sammamish. Appreciated the assist on the way back but felt good to exercise legs and lungs.

Is it a Turbo Como? Nice colour!At one of the last stops before heading for home the Canadian Geese were doing a fine job of social distancing.

Took the orange bike out yesterday. Forgot to charge the battery so it would be the blue bike to look pretty today...

The secret is the clothes are modern, thin, and lightweight. Here is the maximum set I wear for the most adverse weather now:Stefan, you are much more hard core than I. I wait until the temp is approaching 60F before I consider venturing out. You're so bundled up I wonder how you can ride.
