It won’t be long until the nights draw in and the mornings start to edge into darkness. Summer here in Tasmania is fading into Autumn. The warm (hot!) glow of the bold Australian sun will soon be a distant memory. It’s all good though, I love Autumn. It’s one of my favourite seasons. Tasman Bridge…

CLC2018 Ride 2: Cycleway to Sweet Sassafras, Hobart

I love being on my bike and thanks to the commute,…
