Big Foot Adventures
Have you been out to see the buildings being lit up for Enlighten.
I went out and had a look last night and wow ! They really are spectacular.
I was a little surprised by the crowds. There was a lot of people out last night for enlighten.
I was out as a part of something very special. Michael Milton, the paralympian invited me out to take part in a new business venture of his. It's called Big Foot Adventures.
Now what Michael's doing is putting on small group bike ride tours of the parliamentary triangle. You can either ride your bike or one of his.
So we met at the Acton Ferry terminal. We rode from there off to the Carillion. We got to ride around the track on Aspen Island...then off over Kings Avenue Bridge.....up to Parliament House.
We rode around the training track that surrounds Parliament House....I didn't even know that it existed. Stopped and had some nibblies on the lawn out front of Old Parliament House...thanks Penny and Rowdy and Matilda.
Then we were off to National Gallery and Questacon and Library.
We wrapped up the ride soon after 9.
That was good fun.
Let me tell you though....up by Parliament House. We'd just done the training track around the building...we were back on the road on Parliament Drive and Michael Milton says to me......race you down to Federation Mall.
Off we've gone.
Now, I reckon he had trouble with his gears at the start, cos I left him behind early.
Picked up a real good speed down the hill to the left hand turn. Michael is much more a thrillseeker than me....I would have had a 10 metre lead on him at the turn, but he took me on the corner and raced to a 2 bike length lead.
I didn't think I'd peg him back on the flat. I got out of the seat and went hard....and I got him. Nailed him well and truly.
I must be said, I had a road bike and he had a mountain bike, but when you can beat a champion like Michael Milton, I'd take if if he was riding a tricycle.
I think the rematch may well be on soon

An open letter from humans to magpies
If ever you bother to check out Coles or Woolworths or Aldi,
you’ll see row after row of food. Some of it’s fresh. Some of it’s pre-packaged
and ready to heat and eat. None of it has feathers on it. This is where most of
us humans secure our sustenance and we really don’t need to supplement it with
your chicks.
