Spit

While riding some single track up on The Spit on Tuesday night, I managed to discover another function on my camera. Enjoy.





An interesting ride overall, with some especially interesting moments in sand patches. It was, however rather relaxing. About the one thing that cuased me concern was riding through Surfers Paradise on the way back, through all the tasteless high rises and having a feeling that "this place is my home". For all the horrible (and sadly accurate) things I've said about Surfers, I've spent a lot of time there over the last 11 years, and have a lot of memories of them -- albeit doing different things to what most people go there to do.

I'm looking forward to expanding upon this brave new world of night time photography in the next few weeks. It could open up a whole new world, which will make this page even slower to load on a dial-up.

Do you ride mainly for fitness, to get out into "nature", or both?

For what it's worth, I quite like riding around Sufferer's Parasite (Surfer's Paradise).
I used to go to the coast with mates in their cars and chuck laps any time of the day and night but now it feels relaxing to just cruise around slowly and see the sights on the way back from a nice, hard ride (usually a blast down to Pt Danger and back following the beach roads as much as possible).

Haven't done it for a couple of years though... big knee surgery; DVT; spinal surgery; tearing other knee out; etc etc - all tends to take a toll on your time and fitness levels :(

During Indy is a great time to ride as well as they close the track off to most vehicular traffic in the days leading up to the racing - unless the wind is blowing north/south, it's nice and protected by the concrete barriers and good for speed :)
