10/22/2005 - Practice Ride 2: Coogee to Botany Bay National Park

A bit of a later start today and much better weather made up for yesterday. It was still a lot more city riding than I care to do, but the scenery we saw today was what I envisioned for Australia. We packed lunches and took off for Botany Bay National Park. On the way back pulling out of a gas stop on a sharp steep turn, the person in front of me stopped short, causing me to stop short and I came very close to dropping my Bob. Thankfully I was able to pull him up and get on my way before getting run over by a bus. A hairy moment, but all’s well that ends well.

For dinner we all got take out and drinks from a variety of places and met up at the beach for a little pot-luck dinner. It was an early evening since we had a big day ahead of us! Got all packed up and ready for the morning and hit the sack by 9:30!
