A weekend in and around Kyneton

A rainy Saturday in Kyneton didn't deter us from hopping on the bikes and pedalling to the monthly Farmers Markets, followed by croissants and coffee (tea for me!) at Monsieur Pierre.

Steve and I then tackled Mt Macedon (elevation 615 metres) and the Memorial Cross, a 54 kilometre ride from Gisborne to Kyneton. For the cycling enthusiasts, click here for more details. The weather was fine until we neared the top, but by then I was so drenched in sweat that a passing shower wasn't really an issue. The colours of autumn made this a spectacular ride, plus it was a lot of fun going down the other side!

To finish off the weekend the sun came out, so a leisurely flat 26km return ride to Malmsbury for a Mother's Day morning tea was in order. There were the usual sheep, cattle and horses grazing in the paddocks, so we were most amused to see a camel or three along the way.
