Another great afternoon for a bike ride. Inspired by the dusting off of the pedals, Crazy Horse plotted a course from Blackheath out to nearby Hargraves Lookout and then across to Mt Blackheath. The connecting road in particular was a great find, used mostly by bushwalkers but clearly an old fire trail.
The very picturesque avenue that whisks us at a leisurely pace (children crossing), past a riding stable always impresses. Such a stark contrast to the sandstone escarpment.
Distance all told on this ride was 25km; and this time we remembered the sunscreen.
The lack of significant climbs led to some unusual antics from Crazy Horse and Highland Horse.
On a more technical note, I think my Iron Horse is due for some serious maintenance. I don't think it's supposed to chirp like a bird...(I'm guessing it's a disk brake issue but I'm just the rider.)
Special thanks to Highland Horse's better half for putting on dinner after the ride (and even a nosebag for those of us who couldn't stay past a couple of cleansing ales).
Until next time,
Pedal on!
Thunder Horse
