It is hard to explain the mixture of pain and pleasure of a 110 kms ride (maybe 105kms) I know, I know it is not the popular "around the bay" but this is equally rewarding and my legs are thankful that we are happy with a half a bay ride.
We left 12:40 about an hour earlier than usual because the extended ride I thought oen hour would cover it, but not quite. I forgot, since last time the bit from Port melbourne to Beaumaris was considerable, I actually forgot the usual headwind and the slight feeling of uphilliness all the way pass the HMS Cerberus.
We had a few almonds for energy and fruits back in Port Melbourne a huge Fuji apple was so nice and juicy I can still remember the feeling that was our first stop after 4 .5 hours and the taste of that apple will stay with me until the next trip.
I was thinking that 110 Ks is close to a one way trip to Torquay, perhaps one step closer to my touring dream, like...maybe The Great Ocean Road, maybe from Melbourne to Sydney! How long would that take? what will I found along the way beside cramps and hunger and should I take a netbook and do a blog about it, get it publish and become rich so I can affor one of those houses I saw today along beach rd? hmmm It would be nice if this is the seed that will grow into a grand adventure.
