AUGUST 2013
On this, the second Woodford to
Peachester ride, we were blessed with a cloudless blue sky and just a
gentle breeze. A perfect day for cycling. The eight riders included
John and Susan, visitors from San Francisco staying at Richard and
Sandra Allan’s place for a month. We were delighted to have their
company. They were thrilled with the beautiful scenery and said the
ride was the highlight of their visit.
Once again we followed Old Cove Road,
Cove Road and Commissioners Flat Road to Peachester where we sampled
delicious coffee and cakes at the Good Old Days Coffee and Tea House.
As before, we hijacked a local to take photos of the group, this
time in front of the coffee house. The Peachester residents are
certainly very obliging in this regard!
On this trip, two ostriches were
spotted in a paddock next to the road by an eagle-eyed rider (John).
Somehow we missed those on the first ride. We also nearly ran over a
green snake basking on the road.
Otherwise the ride itself was similar
to the last one (see my blog for 28 June 2013), except that my speedo
only read 38km at the end of the ride so we lost 2km somewhere along
the way…
All in all, another very successful and
enjoyable ride to be repeated in due course.
