Another Quiet Day On The Sunshine Coast

We awoke to a beautiful sunny morning (17 degrees) with a few clouds in the sky. By 7:30 we were on the bikes and off on our "Corbould Park" ride. It is my least favorite because of long hills and boring scenery.

Corbould Park is the Sunshine Coast horse racing track. Also in this part of Caloundra we have the Pony Club and the Clay Target Club. The latter is being relocated as housing estates press in on the area. You can see the Pony Club in this photograph! Pressure is building on these facilities as the need for new home sites arises.

The Corbould Park Race Track is to be remodelled with a synthetic race track sometime in the near future. If you are at the TAB watching the horse racing and you spot racing from the Sunshine Coast, Corbould Park is where it will be! It is a very popular spot for locals on Melbourne Cup day.

There are lots of bike paths about so the ride down to the race track is pretty safe for all riders. However as we then turn for our trip home we have some nasty hills to climb. But, the flip side is if you have to go up a few hills then eventually you will have to come down them.

This long hill down Ridgeway St is about 600 metres long and you can get up to about 60Kph in this section.








After we had returned home it was time to put a couple of home brews on. This time I am trying a "Black Ale". It is good to have something a little different every now and again. It certainly tastes a lot better than what it looks in this photo.


I don't know what happened with the blimp yesterday!

I still don't know who won the final cricket match the other night. The winner wins the series!

Trish is having another flying visit down to Melbourne. She flies out Weds May 2nd and will return Wednesday May 9th.

Weather forecasters are still confident of some rain especially on Saturday for this part of the world. All of Australia is waiting for drought breaking rains!
