Did you notice anything different on that picture? There is 2 bikes on the rack...!
Here is a pic of my riding partner and me... You can read and +Google Chrome the name of the place for our adventures for the day.
By the way Felix is learning how to ride.. (or was?)
I hit every available gravel route I could find up there... While Felix stayed on the pavement with the rest of the family..
Most of the routes head up from this point... They look something like this:
I was heading to the highest point of the ride.. Can you see the antenna?
Some trails lead to no where.. I had no choice but to turn around and take the views with me:
Believe it or not somewhere there was a trail....
Some of the local fauna came out to say hi... This little guy didn't want to move..
After a detour here and there I caught up with the family and Felix decided that the middle of the route was as good as anywhere else to take a break...
After talking to them for a few minutes I made a left turn and headed for the highest point of the ride.. You can look in +Strava at the segment or the are in general... Cat 2 climb out of Belfast.
A mandatory picture at the top..
Look at how happy he looks..! Awesome job little dude..!
Belfast back, down there...
And at the end climbing out of the park after like 3 hours of hiking, pushing walking and riding..
It was a great day out with the family..!
If you like this sort of report put this in your favorites and check it like once a week for updates with rides like this and all sort of stuff that I might come up with.

One thing that hit me when I was taking this pic of the little man was that most kids learn how to ride at the park, around the block or some quiet area.. My son? Naaahhhh...! On a hiking trail..! Muchos kudos to Katja for her patience (mommy)

The Weekend Report Guy
Ok as I said I am learning how to do this blogging stuff as I go... The Weekend Report with full stories is here http://www.podiumcafe.com/2015/8/21/9186321/the-weekend-report#comments you will find all sort of stories here.. Have fun! and leave a comment (Please?)
ReplyDeleteI rode a funkified version of the classic Canberra Cotter-Uriarra loop, which threw in some dirt. It was a glorious late winter day posing as spring. A fuller report is on my blog at http://bike.sipols.com/index.php/2015/08/22/fairlighted-uriarra-cotter-loop/ (Not a strictly new blog, but a restart and new URL since my knee should let me actually do rides worth posting about now). I don't think you can put photos in these comments? If you are going to do a comment focused blog, you'll need to find a way to bring them front and centre to the experience
ReplyDeleteYes Mike I see what you mean... I don't think we can do something like we have at #podium here.. Or if there is a way I have no idea how.. I am still learning on how to do stuff around here... To be honest the format seems a bit complicated. I hope it gets better with the days. Thanks for stopping by..!
