A bridge too far - or maybe not!

Anyone who follows me on twitter @thelindfields may have noticed my profile picture. It was taken a few years ago at Sandy Creek Inlet on Lake Hume. We were cycling the High Country Rail Trail and we hit a snag.

High Country Cycling - Part 2

Hot again! Back to the High Country. This time we made it to Hotham. We parked the car at Whiskey Flat - what a great name! - and continued on from where we turned around. The trail became a lot easier but we were never going to be able to do it in one go starting as late in the afternoon as we had.

High Country Cycling - the Australian Alps

Our first rule of cycling is "find a cycle path separate from the road". Our second rule is "make it a flat one". You might think that Alps and 'flat' are mutually inconsistent but, strangely, in Victoria they are not. It is possible to do all the hard work in the car, then unload the bikes and cycle along the tops of the ridges through magnificent scenery and spectacular views.
