Frosty's Aussie Adventures Bike

My cycling page.

I love my recreational cycling, nothing too strenuous, just riding around and checking out various places that we visit. The bike will get me into places that I normally wouldn't go.
While home, I usually have 5 different routes (Zoo Loop-93kms, Jells Park Loop-104kms, Station Pier-53kms, SouthBank-63kms and the Mac Robbo Bridge-73kms) that I ride and all of them follow the Beach Rd shared path. Nothing beats the various views overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
In my previous life, I sailed for 30 odd years and absolutely loved it, so I love the various conditions of the Bay.

In Oct 2018, our home is now in Labrador, Qld.
My normal route now is riding along the Shared Path that surrounds the Broadwater.
Labrador to MacIntosh Island to Surfers to the Spit back to MacIntosh Island to home.

I had included various photos plus some of my cycling routes and also tabled my summarised cycling details.

21st May 2015 - My new Best Friend, Robbie. Ok, I am 24cm taller and 50kgs heavier, but we are mates.
24th April 2020 - My new daily ride - another Giant 29er.

My treadley that I connect the Tagalong hitch too, so I can tow Mase (grandson) when he gets buggered.

RIP - My EX trusted treadley. You served me so well. (Photo taken looking towards Southport).

RIP - My Giant 29er was my daily ride - but it cost too much to fix up, so I bought a new 29er.
