Playing in boats

The weekend was spent playing in boats on the Maroochy River. There were lots of friends with lots of boats to try out. The photo shows Brian catching some swell on the bar .... he enjoyed the wave. Its good to live in Qld where the water is always warm.

New bike

Unfortunately, I didn't get a new bike but Dave did ... and we all looked on in awe as he stood out from the crowd. ;-)  Good ride this morning with a good crew, good chat and good trails. There were still a few muddy spots but finally Daisy has started to dry out after all the rain.

Signed up for the Epic later this year so something to get motivated about and out on the dirt again. Floody signed up as well and can't wait for his new Epic jersey ... no white to turn a lighter shade of brown.

Bicycle race

 

It was bicycle week this week and there were people on bikes everywhere. This morning there was the Mt Cootha Challenge but there was also the Daisy Hill Summer Series where hardman Dean0 was racing and so were Dave and daughter. Everyone was a winner.

Dam the rain

So much for this being the year of the bike :-(   ... the rain has made it very difficult to hit the dirt on the mountain bike. On the bright side though, the dams in SE Qld are almost completely full which made for good paddling at Wivenhoe Dam on the weekend. Lawn right down to the waters edge and beyond, no sharks ;-)  and great company.
