Max's photos

Max shows that it is never to late to start riding a bike. These are some photos that were taken to illustrate a story about a new multi use path in Port Lincoln. Max has two nice bikes. A Merida Mountain bike and a very good looking Orbea flat bar road bike.

Paddling not Pedalling entry about Freya kayaking around Australia.

Gidday Fellow Pedallers
I know some of you have been interested in me talking about Freya paddling around Australia. She has completed her journey now but if you would like to read her blog of her journey. Here is the link below starting Jan 09. Very inspirational lady.

Gear up girls

This Bike S.A. Ride was the inaugural ride for women and girls, hopefully to be held annually now as it was such a success. Over 500 took part ranging from around two years to approx 65+ and the money raised was donated to the Children's Oncology Foundation.
We began and finished in Elder Park where there was catering and entertainment. There were all shapes and sizes in both bikes and riders and the excitement in the air was tangible. The four ride choices ranged from flat 15kms to hilly 50kms, with one group returning by train.
All were ther for a common reason but some also had personal goals.
Not being used to the city 'by bike', I opted to step out of my comfort zone and take to the hills. We had a police escort out of the city, then we were on our own.
I had a ball and I encourage anyone to take part in a 'big group' ride if you have never done so and to do it again if you have.

View from my roof to close but got lots closer after wind change.


What a day??

Cycling Siberia

Most of the PPs would have read Karins book about these two. Extreme cycle touring in an extreme environment. Do yourself a favour and watch this video to see what you can achieve.


“Tim Cope and Chris Hatherly spent 14 months cycling recumbent bicycles from Moscow to Beijing across Siberia….frostbitten toes, vodka, and hospitality were just some of the things they encountered along the way living their dream.”

Tim Cope and Chris Hatherly are absolutely extraordinary human beings…

CONGRATULATIONS to Del Giornos!

Del Giorno’s has also been recognised and was a finalist in the Australian Café/Restaurant Category in the food industry award for excellence! Great Coffee!
