Long lunch break, drove out to North Beach and parked, fat bike and jet in the car. Granny up the boarded sand-dune path, and dowwwn onto the beach, for a lovely clip to the north. Gorgeous day, sea looked spectacular, and Jet was in speed-mode. Full tilt sprint for the first km or so, followed by slowing down a bit and the odd dash for a sniff or a pee. Not to mention the hellos to other dogs.
This is him in slightly-slowed-down-mode. Taken on the fly..
Looking back south...
I recognised the general lay of the land as we rolled, noticing the salt-burned trees behind the dunes, and calculated which exit point would take me to a precise point of the Bottle Lake trail, and we clambered up the dunes and onto an old Phatbike favourite of mine which leads south from that point (where the bike track runs up onto the top of the dunes briefly before ducking back down behind them in the trees). So, along the dune-tops and then back down into the trees, and onto the track for a bit.
Out of the trees, heading south, along the main drag, til I ducked onto a side track which lead up into and over into the trees (on the right as you head south), and found a cool wee track, perfect for fatties like me, cruisey cruise. Eventually took a trail to the left and hit the main drag again, just where it mounts the top of the dune again. Decided to hit the beach, rather than dragging jet along the bike track, and so we returned that bit we'd started on back to the car.
Nice. 7.2 kms ridden, with a whopping 31 m of altitude.
Previously, (yesterday?) Tra'y, Jet and me,
meandered the meandering way to the Library for an outing. 5.8 kms. There are some very nice houses in St Winifreds Place.
