East West 101

Not the SBS mini-series, but a good description of what's been happening in SE Qld... 

progressively more and more training for me on the Eastern "coastline" north and south of Brisbane...

while there has been more and more racing on West of Brisbane...

most notably the Tour of Toowoomba a few weekends ago (which even received some really good TV coverage by SBS's Cycling Central http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/ ), and the Avanti Classic this last weekend.

Now that we are passed the Winter Solstice, soon it will be July, and even more cycling events are on the horizon... both locally in Australia... and of course, in France!

Fraser coast cycling

As a result of our continuing education seminar/lecture series for work, this weekend we found ourselves (along with the bikes of course) in Hervey Bay.  There was "just enough" time to get some exploratory rides in, on both Saturday and Sunday...

although Saturday morning started with thick fog,

it finally lifted at about 9.30am to reveal a glorious sunny day, with amazingly blue skies and crystal blue water. 

Sunday was slightly cloudier and cool, but it was still a great day for another investigative ride... we managed to navigate our way to the quiet bayside suburbs of Toogoom and Burrum Heads...

and then back to Torquay for coffee and breakfast at Enzo's...

and then back to the hotel at Urangan Pier.

Simply a beautiful weekend.
