Magpie spotting Spring 2011
Postby Ross » Sun Sep 04, 2011 5:57 pm
I haven't experienced these personally but there is reportedly one on Nanima Rd near Hall and another on Federal Hwy service Rd (heading back toward Canberra from Sutton).

There's another one on the bike path just north of Atkins street towards Sulwood Drive. He's been fierce in other years but haven't seen him this year yet. But I'd still warn people about him.

Agressive helmet tap on Brindabella Rd on a sharp right hand bend going West towards Uriarra village. Got me good.
Second one on the western side of the road just after the Mountain Creek/Uriarra Rd turnoff going North.

Missed that one this morning. Towards or away from town? We were doing around 60kmh, so I assume our minds were elsewhere or he didn't bother.twizzle wrote:Persistent little bugger on Owen Dixon drive on the climb between Heydon and Badenoch... never made contact, but between backpack and helmet there wasn't much to hit.
There is a nasty one on Southern Cross Dr just after the first part of the climb going to Belconnen. Got me on my helmet just as I came around to do a turn on the front. Came straight at us, then climbed and swooped.

On the way home he got me either 5 or 6 times. He was not happy. If you know they're there, that's half the battle as you can expect it.
