Another perfect cycling morning on the island.....the bike was beckoning from the studio so what was one to do? At a lovely leisurely pace I enjoyed a peaceful ride up to Brackley Beach and joined onto the paved bike path passing the Covehead lighthouse & harbour heading over the bridge to Dalvay. The morning light glistened off the marram grass blowing in the wind matching the rhythum of the waves..... a perfect beach day. I met a few tourists from Chicago out for a very serious training run - out of breath - but enjoying the day! I indulged in a quick stop at Dalvay by the Sea - always love the view of the lake - suggesting the traditional travel of yesterday when guests travelled to the island by train to spend some time by the sea. The ocean was lovely but it was time to head back through the hills and fields............but why did the wind have to shift as I turned east??? A very slow ride back to the studio today..............
