My Ride to Work


Leaving my street, bit foggy this morning (26/5/06)


Through this gate (and the fog) across a padock
On the way home, no fog


Small water crossing in the storm water drain that I ride along for a few hundred metres


Up to the main road for a short stint


At least there's a bike lane


Across this bridge


and turn down next to it, this is where the fun begins


Track follows Kororoit Creek


A bench for reflection


Small section of tar that leads no where, this is about 1/2 way through my commute


That's the Westgate Freeway


Under the freeway is a different world


Have a look at that travel time board, all red, and it's only 7am


A disused bridge (well, I use it to cross the creek)
On the way home


Then down the other side


More disused bridges, these ones are interesting looks like a big pipe inside one of them, don't know what it was used for?

View from the top of bridge (old sewer duct?) the bridge to the right is to be part of the Federation trail...


Nice bridge though


Yuck, there's no way round this, can be a big problem after rain (this has been a dry week).


Can't ride this hill, too slipery, it's hard enough walking up it


Looks like someone had major toilet dramas...


The path winds along behind much industry


Have to pick the right line to get up here


This is where I rejoin civilisation


A few industrial back streets


The most dangerous part of my ride, this roundabout is bad in a car and bikes are not welcome...


The trusty stead does it again, a little dirty but it will get a good clean and service tonight.
