    February 26 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    Overcast with a high of 25 ⛅️

    🚴 45km bike ride
    🏃🏼 7.6km run

    👍🏻 Love a good cider 🍻
    👎🏻 Didn’t make it back to the Nest for one of their fabulous deserts 😔

    As it was a little cooler today we decided to ride the Tumbarumba to Rosewood Rail Trail 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴.
    Construction on the railway commenced in 1912 with the 1st train arriving in Tumbarumba on 9th March 1921. The line ceased operating in 1974 and the rail trail opened in 2020.
    Leaving from the caravan park added a few kms and a little extra elevation to the ride so it ended being 47kms with 285m elevation.
    At Rosewood we enjoyed a great coffee at the Rail Trail Cafe and made a visit to the Gnome Retirement Village - we didn’t get too close as we didn’t want to get a curse 😳 And on our ride back we disturbed an orchestra of kamikaze crickets 🦗🦗🦗

    In the afternoon we drove into Batlow to The Apple Thief - Cider House 🍎- we definitely earned a treat today 😜
    Sampled a few of their offerings and selected the Kingston Black and Apple & Lemon Myrtle Cider 🍻

    The Seagull headed onto the trails for a last quick skiddadle before we head off tomorrow 🏃🏼- 7.6kms with 165m elevation 😊
