Great day shared





A good day today. The day started with the 9 km ride to work, no rain and overcast. Later in the day I ogt a call from Robert, he and the other 6 people on the "Be Spontaneous" group from the VicHPV came from Meeniyan to Leongatha as part of their 3 day tour of South Gippsland. It was great to have lunch with them and ride with such a happy group. I was only on an extended lunch break but it was intersting the response around town. A couple of the group found other friends from Melbourne as well. Recumbents are recognisable everywhere and people don't forget that you ride one.

The last photo shows John and Ruth riding their combination of store bought and home made recumbents. John's bike story is at the vichpv site at: http://mc2.vicnet.net.au/home/vichpv/web/members/johnr/johnr.html

I rode a 20 km return trip via the airport for the trip home. This includes 3 km of dirt road but other than that is reasonably flat and nice with very little traffic. I need to get into the habit of photos. Got a few but need to get them off the camera.
About 38km in total.
