Day Fifty

I got up and watched some Top Gear over the t'internet, Kate slept in for a while got up and then we had brekkie. We threw the bikes in the car and drove over to Bondi beach. The plan was to cycle along the coast but this didn't seem practical so we grabbed a bit of lunch and went for a walk instead. As you can see from the pics below it was a really nice day. We then drove to Centennial Park, parked the car and took to the cycle track. Centenniel Park is much like Central or Hyde Parks but has bonus of allowing you to park inside. We cycled around the track twice, a total of 7.6km, it was good fun and I'm sure we'll be doing it a lot more.

We came back to Glebe, had a call with folks and then jumped on tram to SCG to catch the Swans game.
It was a really good game, especially in the 4th quarter where it was neck and neck, the Swans finally edged ahead in the dying minutes but alas St/Kilda pipped them at the post and won it by one point. I did find some interesting facts about the SCG, apparently if you dare to start a Mexican wave its instant expulsion...hell knows why, also if you smuggle booze in, again instant expulsion plus a $220 fine...seems the fun police run the SCG. Was going to catch some Ashes back at home but it's raining in blighty apparently...

A busy day all in all....

  1. Glad to hear you're keeping up the cycling.
    I've signed up to do the London to Brighton off road for birtish heart foundation in 8 weeks. That's 75 miles off road in one day! Keep an eye out for the sponsorship email ;-)
