Manly Beach, 12 noon
The kids aren't playing a summer sport this year so we've decided that we'll organise a family cycling day each Saturday instead. Today's cycle was along the off-road bike path which wends its way from Baringa Ave, Seaforth to the Manly beachfront.
Queenscliff Surf Lifesaving Club Carnival
Cycling along these paths takes you places not reachable by car. We cycled past Manly Lagoon, saw a circus tent, found playgrounds we didn't know existed and saw backyards full of traditional hills hoists. Once we reached the Manly beachfront we saw that Queenscliff SLSC was holding a life-saving carnival. Sausage sizzles abounded.
PS. we are off on an unexpected trip interstate tomorrow for a family funeral . I'll be back in a week.

What a lovely thing to all do together! I don't want to wish this time away but I do look forward to some of the things we'll be able to do when the children are all a little older. Going cycling will be a lot of fun. Sorry to read about your loss, I hope the funeral goes well.
The ride looks and sounds lovely. Seems like a great family outing.
So sorry to hear of your loss. If it's our fair state you're visiting, I hope it treats you well. xoxo
I like what you did with the title there! ANd your cycling adventures sound great, I hope you have balmy weather EVERY Saturday this summer.
Sorry too, to hear of your loss.
Sorry to hear bout your family's loss.
A family riding trip is so much better than sitting on the everyone sidelines watching just one person enjoying their exercise! Good thinking.
My condolences for your family loss.
My envy that you are fit enough to cycle. You have never seen a more pathetic sight than me trying to cycle this past week..
I think the 'Cycling Saturdays' sound pretty damn awesome.
Deepest sympathy on your loss
I always knew that it was tough living in Australia. Beaches, sunshine, good people...so many challenges to bear in everyday life.
That looks fun! You would need a sausage or two after all that exercise! Rob and I are thinking of taking the kids cycling at the park. Abby is still a little young for anything more advanced than that.
I'll add my condolences on your loss. Travel safely.
This is the 3rd funeral that someone I know is going to this week, lets hope for no more. Thinking of you all.
I quite like your idea of Cycling Saturdays. What a great way to explore parts of your city as a family.
My condolences on your loss.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
The adventures sound wonderful though. As I've said before, I really look forward to the day when we can ride as a family. For now, I enjoy vicariously through you.
So sorry to hear of another loss. Perhaps it is the advancing years, I seem to be hearing of so many passings recently.
Your cycling sounds wonderful and has prompted me to do the same.
Assuming I have the right blog, I have just signed Firegazer up to do Loop the Lake on March 8, along with Chook.
Hopefully, he will let you know sometime between when you get home and that date.
