We cycled the Fernleigh Track last weekend.

We managed to cycle the entire 30km return journey. Little Eco started the trip on her new Trail-gator bicycle tow bar, but finished it sound asleep (wearing my jacket as pants) on the back of my bike. Notice the forced not-so-enthusiastic smile at the half-way mark?

We had loads of fun and I enjoyed cycling in a car-free environment, so i'm dreaming of cycling every one of the Australian Rail Trails. It looks like there's hundreds of them.

Perhaps there's a Rail Trail or Bike Path near you?

I hope you have an adventurous weekend. If you manage to find a few quiet moments, and feel like some sustainable living inspiration, pop on over to my Inspiring Reads page. I particularly enjoyed Fiona's post on Why cook from scratch? Sarah Wilson's post on Car sharing is to care had me wishing, yet again, that we had a car share scheme like GoGet or Flexicar in Newcastle. I also enjoyed being reminded of why I think it's important to connect with nature each and every day in Nature Therapy at G online.

Thank you Amanda for the Waste Not Saks. As you can see above, they're getting plenty of use.
