| start of the trail |
The trail is fairly straight and crosses several roads with offset
fencing for bikes to wiggle through. We did
think they could have been a bit wider.
At
the second road we turned right up a sloping dirt road for 700m to get
coffee. Hilary was reminded about a low gear
she forgot she had. We didn’t have to
get off and push. We had a coffee at
Calico Town wines.
Back on the bike track, we stopped just before one road to
let a low loader pass and the dust settle.
The truck turned into a paddock where a tractor was waiting to load bales
of hay. We guess it was a low loader as
that was what the tractor could lift onto.
We rode just as far as we felt like. The temperature was 29˚but the humidity was low and
there was a breeze. We chatted to an e-tricyclist
on the way back. It was the first time
he had been out since knee replacements.
But that wasn’t his biggest concern – we informed him he could buy
padded bike pants.
After parking our bikes, we drove back to Calico Town for
lunch. We sate outside with a mezze and antipasto
platter and wine and enjoyed the scenery.
Indigo shire Council is keen on recycling and has given each
household a bench top bin and roll of green bags and a list of what goes
in. The bags are then put in the green
bin. Red bins are only picked up
fortnightly. At Calico Town, in the
toilets the hand towels were – tiny cotton hand towels.
