Gateway to the Rainbow Road
The Rainbow Road on the South Island of New Zealand is a must do for any off road touring cyclist visiting the country. It winds its way up a valley, over a pass, and down into Hanmer Springs. An incredible

French Villages
It was a credit card tour. We packed a road bike. A backpack. Thongs (flip flops). No panniers. And a credit card. We landed in Geneve, and flew out of Marseille. Our route took us over the alps and through

Hungry ponies
With the Tour de France just around the corner, it reminded me of the cycling trips I've done in France. A few years ago, I took le velo and rode up Hautacam. It was a cool misty start that turned into

Winging out for breakfast
A Williamstown sunrise is spectacular. In the winter, it rises more over the bay, and it in the summer it rises over the city as the angle changes. But my favourites are the between seasons. Late autumn

Open water swimming
You don't need much to go swimming. Goggles. Swimsuit. You don't even need the watch. But hey - it doesn't count if you don't record it. Swimming in Lake Sammamish in July is warm, pleasant, and if you

Mountain flowers
I just got back from a relaxing week in Mammoth Lakes, CA - an awesome place. And it reminded me of back in the Pyrenees, high steep mountains, and stunning spring flowers. I travelled through Yosemite

Unfurling fronds
The Dandenong Ranges is a temperate rainforest full of lyrebirds, kookaburras, rosellas and wallabies. One of my favourite things there though are the tree ferns. Nothing says rainforest like ferns. I'd

Sunset over Zion
Took my cell phone, my running shoes, and a water bottle, and headed up Watchman trail at the entrance to Zion Canyon in Utah to catch the sunset. It's a spectacular place, far enough away to get away

A Utah Sunset
We spent three weeks travelling from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City. We went via Moab, which is kind of like going to from Sydney to Melbourne via Mildura. But glad we did. Just out of Moab is Arches National

Watching...
Many years ago, I moved up to the Dandenong ranges so that I could be close to the running trails in Sherbrooke Forest. In the first six months or so we played tourist in the area also. A favourite haunt

The Seattle Space Needle was built for the 1962 Worlds Fair. Every year for my kids birthdays we trundle up the top to celebrate them. It's an awesome restaurant with some stunning views. Sadly, the towers
