Single track sunrise

I got out early this morning before the sun was up for a ride up to the top of Stromlo to be greeted with a crisp spring morning sunrise. 

Afterwards I did a bit of exploring, trying out new trails that I would usually ride past. Some lovely, some not so much, but really nice to get some more variety. I was the first one in the carpark at around 5.30am and when I got back it was full! Unfortunately my back is playing up again and it put a dampener on what would usually be a blissful Sunday morning on the trails of Stromlo Forest Park.

The beautiful colours you get at sun up and sun down, lovely.

This trail is called Magpie Rock and it has a very technically steep rocky climb and descent. Rocks! Horrible rocks! I dont know whether I was more happy about reaching the top here, or being able to set up a makeshift tripod with my phone camera on a timer.
