Persistent wet weather here in the Gold Coast Down Unda has cramped my style a bit. (I do understand I'll get no sympathy, so I'm just observing, not grumbling.) Everything's damp, never dries -- just like Foggie Olde in the days before central heating. It's warmer, mind.
Have done some good rides up into the hills inland from the coast. The smell of eucalyptus forest at few hundred metres of altitude is divine. The 15%+ grades to get there, not so much -- but if you want the butterflies, you have to put up with the caterpillars, no?
Normal service is due to resume towards the end of this week, so I've planned a few more rides into the higher country. Will take my camera along & report back, I promise. Meantime, have attached a couple of teasers.
