Born in 1946 I learnt to cycle about 10 years later. On a bike with rods connecting brake levers to the brakes - anyone remember those? I emigrated to Australia (from the UK) in 1974 and moved to Tasmania in 1984. Bicycles were in my life for most of that time although sometimes they were replaced by motorised two wheels for a bit more excitement. On reaching 70 I decided to stick to pedal power but in 2019 an electric recumbent made an appearance. it's now 2023 and I have 3 bikes. 2 e-recumbents and the Brompton.

End of 2022 – It’s a Wrap

Some damage was done to the Longford Boat Ramp infrastructure during recent floods. The area shown above was totally submerged for some time and looks like it must have collected a passing tree.

Headwaters of the Mersey River

Back in 2020 I had a go at cycling from Mole Creek up to Lake Rowallan in the headwaters of the Mersey River. That time I didn’t get past Lake Parangana, would this time be different?
