Fantastic day here on the Apple Isle yesterday,
sunny, warm, with a maximum temperature of 28 degrees (with no humidity) made for very pleasant riding conditions. We just couldn't let the day go to waste so we headed off on a ride up the East Coast to Buckland where we stopped at a great little roadside cafe for fuel, coffee, and flathead fillets, an interesting combination, but we've been there before and we know how good they are, and super cheap as well! We'd had a couple of days of windy weather prior to yesterday but the wind speed had dropped to zero for us and that provided fantastic riding conditions. The thing I noticed particularly about our ride was the incredible light of the day. Because the air in Tassie is so clear, the light and clarity of the day was amazing, the colour of the fields, the trees, the water, was amazing, and unfortunately I'd left my camera at home, and I was kicking myself. Sorry guys, no pics!! For those who might not know..........North West Tasmania, is known to have the clearest air in the world, of course it picks up a little crap on it's short journey across the state, but by the time it reaches the East Coast it's still pristine, compared to almost anywhere else. This gives amazing light and clarity, and is a photographers dream! The weather here can change so quickly though, and today is overcast with very light misty intermittent rain. We picked it right yet again!!
