MTB ride out to national park.

Absolutely Magnificent day. After cancelling the kayak portion of the day due to the bad weather forecast we were presented with one of those special days just made for cycling. No wind, nice temperature and lovely scenery. Six of us headed out with Jim joining us for the first time on a MTB ride. We rode out along the trail till the National park were we did a figure of eight suggested by our ride planner Dene who is now recovering nicely. Some sweet riding along some overgrown paths and trails led to some superb spots along the shore of Proper bay with lots of photos taken. A climb up the hill from the entrance led us to a very rocky hill and descent with Jim handling the challenge with ease. Leonie was a bit more careful not to come a gutser on the rocky trail. This was followed by a return ride along the Parnkalla trail returning to Del Giornos for a coffee. Finally we returned to Arteyria gallery for a sausage sizzle for lunch made by Ross' Folk music group.
