Surprisingly, I managed to make it almost the entire way home without being rained on, although everything was soaked and the creek was roaring with run off from the downpours during the day. Going through the tunnel under the freeway the creek has filled the three tunnels and is squirting out the gaps in the wall of the fourth … the fourth is the one that holds the bike path, with the path level currently about half a metre lower than high water in the creek in the next one over!
Scotchmans Creek trail is covered in fallen bark from the gum trees, the two hot weekends convinced the trees to start their summer shedding, but then the rain soaks it all making for an interesting mix of eucalypt smells and the crunch of bark that should herald hot weather
For a minor variation I used the footbridge up and over Warrigal road, although its certainly not my favourite route on the fixie, my lazy out of practice knees can’t get up the second half of the ramp
