Summer was definitely here. 30 deg C this afternoon, so I opted for an evening ride along Torrens River, heading west towards the sea. The paths in the City were well marked and paved. But those in the outskirts were narrow, windy and gently undulating.
Interestingly, I rode past woods, on paved road (due to construction), cemetery, wooden pathways and overhands, bridges, through residential suburbs, farms (yes, the smell of cow shit was undeniable) and finally, the beach (West Beach/Henley South Beach). Because of the narrow path, road condition and afternoon glare (riding towards the setting sun), the speed averaged only 19+ kph. A few short but steep inclines to keep things interesting.
Passed many other cyclists, mostly on mountain bikes, as well as runners. Most were friendly.
I didn't particularly like this route for biking, but would be a great route for running. :)
