Just a quick trip along Round Mountain Road onto Kanes Road, Cudgera Road then a drag along the Freeway to Clothiers Creek Road. Turning into the wind on Wattie Bishop Road. To my shock and horror Tweed shire Council is about to clear fell "all the trees" along Round Mountain Road for a couple of km. Interesting as there are no trees on the private land right up to the fence lines there will be no shade on that ride any more! I decided to stir so rang council and got Russell Gorry (?), who said they were only clearing the Camphors and Sally Wattles we will see! But then it will be too late! Don't you just love DEVILpment!
Anyway that was today's ride so I am looking forward to the middle of summer and no shade through that section of my rides now, no birds, no insects or shade! ah well the price of progress..... We have a really warped idea of what progress is in our culture, don't we?

I Rode this Route today --- with what I consider a noticeable WNW wind -- the loop took 58mins -- I only Averaged 21.8 km/h.
The wind seemed to be a head wind no matter which way I was riding. The small hills were the only relief. The freeway was a slog! dropping to 16km/h at one point until I put my chin on the bars of the hybrid! then I managed to drag it back to 20km/h Now that's moving (slowly)
But for some reason or another they have stopped clearing the side of the road after only +25m
