Have just returned from a girl's weekend in Lorne. Vic, her friend Sandra and I decided to walk from Lorne up to Erskine Falls and back down again. It was only 7.5km each way, so seemed like a nice three hour stroll. 5.5 hours later, we returned, muddy with all sporting wipeouts from the wet logs, too-numerous-to-count river crossings and steep muddy climbs. A very pretty adventure -- but one that is best remembered over a glass of wine, in front of the fire!

On May 7th, we competed in another endurance race. With winter on us, they are shorter given the cold and lack of light. This was a 6-hour in Ballan (near Ballarat), and it was cold and muddy! Vic, her husband Matt and I raced as "Three's a Crowd", and David rode with his Brunswick Street Cycles sponsored team. Both teams came third in their respective categories, even despite the mud!

Over Easter, we rode the Dry Diggings trail (an old goldminer's trail) from Castlemaine to Daylesford in Victoria. Almost 60km of single track, and lots of hills! More pictures on the site (by clicking the photo here)

Haven't posted for awhile, but the photos have been updated. Figured I better put the links up here. This was a 8th wedding anniversary present -- a 5-day holiday to Byron Bay (on the border of NSW and Queensland). Beautiful spot -- a little rainy, but very warm. We ran up to the lighthouse each morning. Here's a view of it as you get closer. The lighthouse is on the most easterly point of Australia -- and therefore what I consider the closest to Canada!
