Which explains why M7/Westlink haven't issued a press release about closing the bike path. Still, the route does pass Prospect Canal which is supposedly closed. I also see the map shows the route goes down Silverwater Rd while the cue sheet says Holker, so go figure!

True. I've seen the actual maps - they are going quite a different route that bypasses the dam.

Hmm two times in a similar area within a couple of weeks. I think the local kids have found a new game to play...

By the way Coops, take a look at this:

Might be useful for our bikes even if it adds some weight. I've been thinking of it for my Giant which seems to have a very delicate paint finish.

Thanks

I'm having less encounters with magpies too. Hopefully now we'll have far more peace in our rides.

I would humbly suggest riding in this may not be the greatest thing for your health.

Yes I am as soon as I finish work - Would love a ride home but that involves Mrs Westab packing at least two kids in the car to come and get me. That said the extra kms I had planned are gone and I will be taking it easy.medium wrote:Darn, i rode into work this morning.....was planning to ride back but i don't want to die from smoke inhalation....anyone else braving it ?

Hope nobody here is affected by the fires. If you are, good luck and stay safe.
