So we are now stuck in the SE Qld lockdown; it is time to stay indoors. We have allowed ourselves time to exercise outside, whilst remembering to stay clear of other people.

Board games, puzzles, finding that recipe, gardening, mowing, cooking, baking, knitting, paperwork, dusting, housework, washing, running the boat motors, generator, whipper snipper, canoeing, time to get around to all those jobs we were ‘getting around to’. This is what Lockdown is all about. Oh and free weights, yoga, brief bicycle rides and the painful sadistic joy of a new Shakti mat. Keeping it sane and trying to keep fit…ish.

Trouble is mum makes a wicked fruit cake. But then again, it is after all……….FRUIT cake.

Zeus on the loose; somehow found his way to the outback. “Google it”.

Analysing the above image. You can see the descent and climbing profile of the entire ride. The way down the hill at the 15km mark was so much fun. This part of the road is the old range, it is sealed and in perfect condition. Being blocked off, bikes are free to cruise down the hill at whatever speed you wish. Scattered amongst this fast run is the occasional side trail around a tree on the edge of the road, with the expected 3 foot drop back onto the tar, Nice and yes, of course, I hit all of these. The rest of the ride included single track, dirt roads, backroads and bike paths that made for an easy day.

We may be stuck. But being stuck here with mum is awesome. iphone shot
