4wheel drive? ones' enough for me!

Feeling very good today, we’ve done 2 days of cycling through Rainforest and National parks. We found a track called the Old Coast road, it’s strictly 4Wheel Drive and includes lots of big climbs up mount thingy before it drops steeply down into a swampy creak. By the end of the first day having only travel half our normal distance we were talking about hiring a van and throwing the bikes in the back; luckily, we found a pub were we had quite a few beers and a big steak, slowly but surely our confidence was restored.

The next day, knowing what we were in for, we felt a little more at ease, and soon we were ‘happily’ pushing our bikes up a sand track into the wilderness. After that everything seemed also easy. The Forest rolled on as far as the eye could see; we’d steadily climb to the top through the bush, admire the views (usually the next mountain we had to scale) – then plummet down the rock-strewn paths. But perhaps the best thing of all was that in the 2 days that we were out of civilisation we saw 2 other people.
