A relaxing weekend away.

After pulling out of the Highland fling Kendra and I decided to take some time out and spend it at our Friends (Shane and Sarah) farm. It was a great decision, we had a really good time. We did not do much, mainly some bush walking, and a bike ride thrown in.
Our bike ride was going to be a nice flat easy ride, but as it turned out it was the opposite. We headed off on a fire road, that was really nice with a slight up hill, rode along some single track (mainly used for horse riding, watch out for poo!!), then back onto the fire road it was all great. The fire road soon turned into a climb up Tantawangalo mountain. A few k’s into the climb it looked like it was not going to get any easier so I gave Kendra the option of turning back to ride somewhere else. But no Kendra was determined to get to the top so we pushed on. It was pretty tough and was really surprised that she kept going. We got to the top and with only 7.5k’s riddin we had climbed 430 vertical meters, that is pretty big. So we decided to head back down that was great fun nice and quick we were nearly back in no time, but we had 1 more climb. We had another 200meters of vertical climbing to go, up the drive way. This was pretty hard going and my knee was beginning to feel the pain but we push on to the top for a nice relaxing drink.
We took it easy for the rest of the weekend even though it was only a 15k ride. Our 2 dogs had a ball chasing everything in sight, by the time we got home they were stuffed.
