Cycle around the bridges

The 104
Tasha suggested cycling around the bridges of Perth City - starting from the bike hire shop at Fraser Point and cycling along Riverside Drive, over the Narrows Bridge, through to the South Perth foreshore and back to the hire place.

The Cost
For the hire of three bicycles for two hours [$54], three cold bottles of pump [$12], a miniature sunscreen block of lotion [$5] and three helmets [$3], it cost us a total of $74. Noice!

The Experience
I made a running cycle blog this morning using my iphone. Click on the numbers to view photos taken [including our unplanned detour] as we progressed through the day.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - - 9

The After-effects [one hour later]
My legs are sore but it is such a great feeling! It has been too long since I have done any outdoor activities. And this by far, is my best cycling experience!

The Recommendation
I would definitely suggest cycling around the bridges to anyone who has always enjoyed the views of the swan river. And it is perfect for when you have visiting guests from overseas or interstate. The paths are set up specially for cyclists so you do not have to worry about crossing main roads. It is great for kids.

I would recommend giving yourself two hours to cycle if you decide to cycle at a leisurely pace. And bring your sunnies so that you can be less conspicuous when checking out cuties.

Here's to a healthy 104!
