HAWAII
Diamond Head Crater is the most iconic landmark in Honolulu; Visible from all the Waikiki beaches & beyond, its rough outline intrigues visitors & tourists alike so I made it my mission to bicycle there & explore the sites I’d be allowed.
Cycling there wasn’t long nor was it difficult.…

Beach Rd to Mordialloc II
Being a milestone ride as it was bound to be, I wanted to do one special to mark the occasion accordingly & few can be as memorable as Beach Rd is.
The main milestone for me personally, is the fact that this ride marked my 26th week in row, which…

Woodlands Park -anticlockwise- III
To ride this week & continue my streak, it had to be today because the forecast was dire for the weekend & I definitely wanted to keep the streak going since I'm so close to the 6-month mark.
So being right next to the Park it was an obvious choice…

Greenvale Reservoir Park
Today I could've easily passed the ride up, but I'm nearing the 6 months on my streak so I felt compound to do it. I decided that a short ride would be enough, especially considering that the temperature was in the 30s, albeit low 30s but still, hot enough to…

Greenvale/BR/Woodlands Park X
In a week in which finally we've had some rain -albeit for only one day- after many, TOO MANY dry ones & a few days with temperatures in the mid 20s, it was a real pressure to ride. The grasslands in the background of the freestanding bike photos I shot,…

Roxburgh/Woodlands Park
With a temperature of 25dC, on a beautiful summer day, with absolutely not a cloud in the sky, I had to ride but it had to be in the area because my car was being serviced.
Six or Seven weeks ago a intended to do this ride but had to…

Boeing Reserve/CITY -clockwise-
Today I wanted to enjoy the ride being adventurous while exploring new trails even though I was I bit anxious about it for reasons unbeknown to me.
Starting at the Boeing Reserve, I rode the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail all the way to Dynon rd. I was looking for the…

Brimbank Park/Boeing Reserve
With clear skies & the temperature on 28 degrees, it was a good day to cycle, especially this weekend when it's going to hit the 40s, an impossible task to take on any other day.
Although I have ridden along this trail before, today I focused on my surroundings, landscapes…

Williamstown/Point Cook
After last week I had to cut this ride short, I was determined to get it in full before schools & chaotic traffic get back to normal.
Being a coastal trail, it snakes in all directions no matter which way it is approached & with such a windy day the…

Adventure, Reconnaissance & Odyssey, this ride had it all!
This is one of those rides that I used to do a lot back in the days when I'd ride 3 or 4 times a week but I hadn't come back here for more than 12 years, so I was longing…

Beach Rd to Mordialloc
January 1st, a brand new year! I wanted to start it with a bang taking a ride I hadn’t done for a while (1 year & 7 months). I also assumed that many people leaving town would make the traffic, both cars & foot, a lot lighter; this assumption would…

MT/MPCT/BR anticlockwise
Being Boxing Day, when a lot of people are away on holiday therefore traffic is lighter than usual, I thought I’d drive to get to my starting point for the ride.
With the unveiling of the new freeway some additional bike paths were created including the Footscray bypass which hangs…

Greenvale/BR/ Woodlands Park IX
When I started riding it was cloudy & non-inviting but at the end of it, it was sunny & welcoming (that’s Melbourne!)
Saturday isn’t my usual riding day but yesterday the temperature was in the 30s with occasional showers so I didn’t do it…
As for the fauna, it was…

Woodlands Park II
On a hot summer day, with a temperature of 31 degrees, I was very reluctant to go for a ride; in fact, it was late in the afternoon, after we had done the shopping with Elaine & she had even put dinner to cook, when I decided to venture &…

Roxburgh/Westmedows/Woodlands Park
It started with disruption when my pouch broke & fell off; luckily I was near home so I returned to change it. Disruption continued later as the bicycle chain came off twice when I attempted to put it in “climbing”.
It was warm, in the high 20s, but I had…
