Roads Less Travelled

After another early morning ride we headed into Adelaide city to meet the Greens and wander around the markets. We had lunch in one of the asian restaurants and then headed to the Casino to have drinks in their bar with views around the city.

Got our bikes off the racks so that we can finally do some cycling. Headed out really early for a ride into Hahndorf which was an 18km return journey. Found a lovely coffee shop but not much open that early. It is best to ride early as the temperature ramps up real quick and before…
