An interesting
ride today starting from Spinnaker to Beachmere with a good group of
12 cyclists taking part.
The group rode on
the Ningi Bike Path as far as the Ningi Esplanade where we cut across Ningi to Bestmann Rad and then Bribie Island Road before we turned left ino the housing development which took us to Peel Road and on to Beachmere.
Leader Isabel and
long term resident of Beachmere ably provided a commentary at various
stopping points which included interesting and informative facts of
the area.
Our routes and
stopping points were:
Bayside
Drive Lagoon (with many black swans)
Beachmere
Beach (from several vantage points)
Clayton
Park (and bowls greens and Club Beachmere)
Beachmere's new
War Memorial in Clayton Park
Moreton
Terrace Park (where people exercise their dogs on the beach at the
end of Biggs Avenue)
Biggs
Avenue Lake (where the fish kills occurred some time ago)
Trinity
Waters Canal Estate and Caboolture River
Beachmere
Tavern and Beachmere Village Shopping Centre (built by the developer
who is building the resort complex overlooking Pumicestone Passage at
Sandstone Point)
Burnt
trees showing how close the bushfire came to the Shopping Centre
and houses last December
We
also sang 'Happy Birthday to You' to Dawn, an elderly friend of mine
who was entertaining friends at her beachfront home next door to the
park where we had stopped to look at the beach (and erosion).

The morning
finished with a lovely morning tea provided by Isabel which we
enjoyed on her cool balcony.
Then it was back
in the saddle for the 20 kms back to Spinakker. A good ride with a
total of 40 plus kms covered.
