Morning rides in the winter make for some great memories, and great photos.

This was a morning ride I'll never forget. For about ten minutes on this road I was riding towards a rainbow which seemed just around the corner. At one stage a hawk or eagle of some kind was scared out of the tree I was riding past and flew parallel to me for about 5 seconds.

Most importantly, after a 500km round trip mostly in the rain, I successfully returned home with a 1kg bag of heavily discounted coffee beans.
