Riding along the banks of the Ross River  6:15 - 7:15am

While my daughter went off to Cycle de Vie to sweat away attached to a computer, I borrowed the mountain bike and went for an hour long purl along the bike way that traces along bank of Ross River.  

It's a well tended, tidy path and I was early enough to beat most of the wandering pedestrians.

The reflections in the still water were always beautiful.  

spot the bike!

There were a couple of women rowing along, people out walking their dogs and some other bike riders cruising along. 

Dead water hyacinth - yay!

 Not much lycra in sight here.

It was a really nice cruisy ride - people smiling - just poking along - good for the soul!
