Today we made the bike ride (as planned yesterday) to Hillarys and back. Only 21 km's, but the bike path mainly runs through the dunes along the coast, so it does go up and down all the time.
Our bikes have shock absorbers on the front and under the saddle. We can tell we would never have anything else anymore! Riding our bikes reminded us of the test drive we did a couple of months ago with a Jeep Grand Cherokee (that was in Holland). That car took every speedbump without any problem whatsoever. Our bikes do the same with all kind of irregularities in the road (and bumping up sidewalks is no problem at all).
The weather (yep, again ;-) was oke during the first part of the trip (lots of big, black clouds), but just 5 minutes before we arrived in Hillarys the rain started to fall. On the way back there were still lots of clouds, but no rain. Temperatures just above 20, so couldn't be better for bikerides.
Today is also a national holiday in Australia, Anzac day. On this day people remember the fallen soldiers of the wars. Originally started as a remembrance day for fallen Australian and New Zealand soldiers during a war against the Turks in 1904/05 at Gallipileo. It was too early for us to have a look there, but in Kings Park in the centre of Perth people gather before 05.00 am, and than at sun rise start marches through the street.
