Sunday Lunch with the Outlaws

Did a quick ride round Kanes Rd to Pottsville Waters for a "Sunday Roast" with the outlaws. After a quick dinner got back on the bike for a time trial sprint home along the Pottsville ---> Hastings Point Bike Path, after Koala Beach intersection up to the Service Station I don't mind the path as it is bitumen which lacks the bump, bump, bump, bump of the badly constructed concrete elsewhere, thankfully!

Then along Round Mountain Road where near the Sewerage Works a couple of magpies started a staffing run. I think my Ice-cream bucket type helmet kept them a couple of meters above my head.

It's rather strange behaviour because we have, for a good 15 years, had magpies nesting in trees on our property and the only creatures/things they have dive bombed have been the pet dogs not people on the road, on the mower, on bikes etc...

Why is it so? I do not know! Maybe it's because nobody but the dogs attempt to cause them any harm. No rocks or sticks thrown at them no yelling etc...

Distance: 24km (mostly cruising)
