The Place
On a suburban street in Narre Warren North.
Expedition
Felix Dance
I’m not sure why I decided to do this one – it was a work night, a fair way off and one of the wettest nights for a long while.
I set off after work and it was still raining, but also still light so not so bad. In fact the tree-lined eastern suburbs were quite picturesque in the rain.
However, soon after reaching the Princes Highway I got a flat tyre. This was annoying but not a disaster as I knew I had a spare… only I didn’t! Not even a puncture repair kit. In despair I tried to decide between giving up or taking the train there and then walking.
Suddenly I looked up: there in front of me across the street was a bike shop! But it was closed.
More to come…
Here's a map of my route. Total distance = 55 km (including 5 kms to get home from the station).
