Really Rewarding Ride

Despite the threatening heavy skies, and dark clouds, ventured forth on my trusty bike up to Stromlo Forest Park for a ride around the cycle circuit.

There were two pairs of cyclists, male and female, and a few others spread thinly around.

Instead of retracing the outward route on the return, ventured slightly uphill on one of the tracks leading to the hill up to the top,
Saw a little Echidna crossing the track, and both of us stopped by the side of the track to have a little chat to each other. Then I proceeded further along the track, while Echidna crawled into the bushes and rocks.

A few showers, saw me sheltering under the grandstand, alternatively under a pine tree.

So that was my commune with nature for the day.

Back to the computer to check whether our subscribed TV program has had its program for this week posted, but no, as usual, will probably have to wait till tomorrow afternoon, to see the program for the week ahead.

Until then

Echidnas are great. Some of those Mtn Bike tracks up at Stromlo are pretty rugged!

I too got caught in the rain this afternoon. A too rare opportunity.
