Morning all, I was riding to work this morning via an extended ride (My standard commute is to short) and got curious about what others see on the way to work.
Here are 2 pics from on off my routes. Depending on the wind this road is my favourite.
This was taken on my outward ride, I some time go up to 20k's before I turn for home.
Taken from the same spot on the way back.
How about some others?

That's cheating
good idea though I can go along for a ride as well.
There's no street view out my way, only around town.

I was riding on ANZAC Bridge this afternoon and heard this incredibly loud aircraft engine noise and thought that I was about to get caught in a 9-11 styled attack on Sydney. Fortunately it was just those 5 big fire fighting helicopters warming their engines on the dock. No ideas how they got there though.
Looks like the bush fire season is upon us.
PS. Pretty good to have a 38km bike loop interrupted by something interesting.

Here's mine...
Warm up with a run along a treelined street...
Watch out for glass outside the Top Pub...
A brief glimpse of countryside...
Petend I'm cycling the 'Dales...
Vista with the destination in view, it's not so far...
Zip past the lake...
Finish off racing the cars up the hill...

A year ago I lived in Balmain overlooking this terminal
and now I overlook this terminal in Fremantle.....
Fremantle has the better riding.

I think you are right. I was blown away by the clear water of Indian Ocean when I visited there the first time.

Having a computer that stops recording when I stop riding helps

I thought I would share my commute so out with the camera this morning for
another shite day in paradise
This CP is usually empty however school holidays have begun..
Who would want to live on the water
6 ships waiting to get into port
A quick swim perhaps????
Redcliffe Jetty
The new Woody Point jetty looking toward Brisbane
Looking toward the bridge
Now at the bridge - Bum starting to twitch waiting for all the bumps.
I will continue with part 2

Other end of the bridge (sigh) - these next couple of shots were taken off the Shorncliffe jetty
Looking back to Redcliffe
back toward Brighton and the southern end of the bridge
Brighton to Sandgate
Shorncliffe cliffs
Shorncliffe to the Cruising Yacht club
Bike can have a rest till this arvo till we do it all again.
Just a quick note to visitors, there is a bike path and roadway along the foreshore for the entire length of these photos which makes my mornings absolutely fantastic on mornings like today.
