Bike ride from Kirra to Snapper Rocks

Today I went on a bike ride from Kirra to Snapper Rocks. It isn't far (about 7 kms there and back). The route is very scenic as I used the walkway round by the beach so I took some photo's to show you our neighbourhood. I drove the car down to Kirra (I'm not that fit!) and started from there. Kirra is about a 10 minute drive south from us and it's where we lived for the first 3 weeks when we came over so it's a bit special to us.

When I got to Snapper Rocks I parked the bike up and decided to cool my feet off in the surf. I had to step over some jaggy rocks to get there so I kept my thongs on and wouldn't you know, one of them broke. So there I was hopping about on these jaggy rocks right foot thongless :o/ Then I had to ride all the way back to the car without it. Had some hopping to do too as I had to dismount the bike on part of the track and the path was ROASTING!!!! I was darting about looking for shadey bits.

On the way back I stopped off at the market and bought a mango stick. It's frozen mango and was just what I needed.

After I got the bike in the back of the car I stopped off at Kirra Surf. It's a surf shop that sells - surprise surprise - surfing gear. Whether you want some boardies for the beach, a new pair of thongs to replace the cheap crap ones that lasted 2 minutes ggrrr, or a new surf board, Kirra Surf has it all and even better - everything was half price for up and coming Australia Day (on 26th Jan). So I went in for a look around and came out with a bag full of clothes for me, Paul and Kenny. I love retail therapy!

Anyway, here are the photo's of my bike ride.
