I posted these on John's behalf. He looks to be about my height but I haven't met him to confirm despite two attempts. Hopefully he will comment in due course.

Finally got out today.
First proper ride of 2017.
Just a shortish 10 miles along the sea wall between Moreton and Hoylake.

Looking towards Liverpool and the Pennines in the far distance


Leasowe Lighthouse
( just to the left of the lighthouse you can make out a block of flats. I live not far from them)


Black Pearl/Grace Darling





RNLI doing exercises with the inshore hovercraft





Looking back along the prom at Hoylake towards Moreton



Views of the welsh hills, Snowdon can be seen on a clearer day, and The Isle of Anglesey on the right.

A nice thing about coming back to Oz is joining the pushy brigade, riding to and from work every day. I'm a gym junkie getting a session in every day but neglecting any solid leg work, so the riding is paying off in spades. Soon I won't look like this guy:

Love looking at your Pic's! Never been on a hovercraft before would be fun! what size & type motor do they use? & do they need some water on the surface they skim over?
I have been up Sydney for past week no pushy with me, but still some good big city cycleways up there.
will get out for a ride today.

meehalych that looks like a great bike!
the beauty of a bike or Pushy is you can ride all over the world if you wished without changing it. like with cars need controls & steering on left or right side, not so with bikes.

hey i read in todays paper that an old gu like myself  :lol:, was shoot at in Victoria state riding a pushy b :Shocked:
