The best advice I can probably give is to not push yourself too hard at first. Forget the fitness aspect and just enjoy being outside in the sunshine on a bicycle. Cycling is a great thing to do with your spouse and Australia has some great trails. http://railtrails.org.au/ is a good resource for finding some of them.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-18469189330697076392015-11-04T21:27:01.046+11:002015-11-04T21:27:01.046+11:00Hello Lyn, I am a quarter of the way there.

We have skied at Perisher/Blue Cow for the last couple of years and stayed there once or twice in summer so I know the area quite well. The summer days can be spectacular but you can also get unlucky and strike bad weather. I hope your friend got sunshine - I assume she got married in summer.

Our problem is that we always go too far - lol. Once the Bogong High Plains road is open, which should be about now, you can drive to the trail turn-off then cycle as far as you want along the aqueducts. While it follows the aqueducts the trail is almost flat, very slightly uphill on the way out and therefore downhill on the way home when you are tired. The scenery is just lovely.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-53323616977305982982015-11-04T08:22:36.994+11:002015-11-04T08:22:36.994+11:00I love all the old huts in mountain country.
