LONG JETTY CYCLE - 1 APRIL 2016

John and I went for a bike ride at Long Jetty.

This was john's first ride since his injury and he went well on the flats and eventually the small hill climbs.

It was a great morning with a few highlights :-

On peddling out on one of the piers there were seagulls and terns roosting on the railing all the way along. As we cycled along the pier, the seagulls flew off in a sort of formation to the left and the right. It looked pretty cool from my vantage point behind John.

We watched a teen girl doing all sorts of tricks on her bike in the bike park. Amazing to watch! She was so good but alas, the footage didn't turn out as I turned the go pro off rather than on. She said she had been practising for a few years and learned watching the older boys.

People saying hello and good morning as we cycled pass them.

Cycling along the piers. We met a young guy fishing at the end of one jetty. He had no luck fishing but he enjoyed the solitude and view.

A play in the two bike parks though I was wasn't near the young girls standard, I still had a good time and felt inspired to do better.

A fun bike ride.

KINCUMBER - PATHS, WHARVES AND WATER - CYCLE - 16 NOVEMBER 2015

I had some spare time in the early afternoon so I drove to Kincumber foreshore at Kincumber Broad Water for a cycle.



It was a pleasant ride past the foreshore along a bike path. The path became a raised path where the local terraine was too sensitive for the tread of bikes and people.

At times, I was on grassed areas, streets, wharves, foreshore beaches and tracks.

At one point there was a track/road running parallel with the bike path. It had pools of water and the soil was saturated. Too saturated as when I went through one pool the bike stopped and sank in the clayish mud. Of course, I managed to get both shoes soaking wet and caked in sticky mud.

A ride that has been on my list for awhile.

An okay 8.94km ride with a 22m elevation range.

CENTRAL COAST - LONG JETTY - MTB - 19 november 2014 - 'A LONG RIDE ON A LONG PIER'

An early morning bike ride along the foreshore at long jetty.

I started at Picnic Point and rode towards Killarney Vale. I veered off path a few times to look at the shore line and to ride the three jetties.

An okay ride. The jetties are fun to ride along.
