Ride 13 - 23 May 2019
Distance 15.4.miles (Distance to date 212.1 miles)
Time 1:54 (Time to date 26:05)
Royal Oak, the land of the big trees, big houses and big plots. Not much traffic in this neighbourhoood made for a pretty enjoyable ride!
I've ridden and run around the Royal Oak plenty, but never really taken time to explore. The neighboorhood had a nice feel, often pristine neighbourhoods can feel sterile and unfriendly, but everyone I saw or spoke to was great.
Also this ride had a pretty good area / distance ratio, those rides always feel good!
One dilemma, I encountered a road that wasn't on the map! My conscience got the better of me and I rode it (even though it was on a hill!).
Points of Interest.....
Sea View Patio (48.505937, -123.349404)
So at the end of Waters Edge Rd is this patio. With a stunning view. It looks like the patio is public as it looks off the neighbouring plot. Either way the house on the neighbouring plot is under construction, so I imagine this will be fair game for the summer of 2019!!!
Lohbrunner Park (48.49413, -123.364005)
OK, so there are 100s of parks in Victoria and loads of them worthy of mention. But this one is a bit different, a small picturesque lake in a very hidden away location. It won't take long to do a lap, but worthy of a visit.
Tree Stump Carving (48.4988782,-123.3653278)
I debated whether to put this one in my blog, then remembered that I have one reader, so figured it didn't matter (I'm perserveering so I have a diary for the memories, if you're my one reader and wondering!!).
This native carving is carved into a tree stump. It beautiful. It's just in someone's yard, so you may need to trespass a little to get a good view!
