A very pleasant ride took place today at the Glasshouse Mountains. Weather, although a little cool, was fine and sunny and we warmed up as the day progressed and our wheels began spinning.

After meeting up and parking just adjacent to the primary school on Steve Irwin Way we began our ride. A very pleasant ride through bushland on a cycle track although a bit rough and hilly in places we were rewarded with birdsong and the peace and quiet of the bushland. The track took us out onto road eventually and we had a coffee break at the bakery at Glasshouse.

After refreshments we continued riding along Sahara Road passing avocada tree orchards and many pineapple fields with lovely views of the various mountains in the Glasshouse Range in evidence. A beautiful clear outline of the mountains today enhanced by the clear skies. Continuing our circuitous route back to Glasshouse along Coonowrin Road where we picked up Ted for the return route back on the track to where we had parked out cars.

By this time we were in need of more refreshments so once bikes were loaded into cars we drove along to Vecchios Fruit Barn where there is a very pleasant coffee area outside in the bushy garden complete with roaming chickens much to Yoshiko's dismay. However, we shooshed them away for her benefit and had another pleasant rest break before returning to Bribie.

A good day and thanks to Bob S for arranging this ride.
