first day on the road

Posted on Wednesday, April 07, 2010 at 8:46 PM by dyon

today, after a few months of preparation, we actually started riding somewhere. we rode along the torrens river from adelaide to the coast, then down the coast and eventually inland to mclaren vale all on the coast to vines trail.

we had lunch at glenelg at a lovely play ground where kai ran around and around and around.

as we hit maclaren vale so did the thunderstorms. we took refuge at the visitor's centre for a little while before braving the rain again. helen managed to get a flat tyre about 1km from the caravan park so dyon and kai forged ahead to set up camp while helen limped in.
