A Perfect Sunday Ride

I headed off on Sunday morning for a short ride to Christchurch Grammar School and back. The ride of about 25km is picturesque in so many ways. The windlass, sunny morning enhanced this even more.
Starting in South Perth, along the edge of the swan river, crossed the Narrows Bridge, then continued along the river to UWA (universtiy of WA). It deviates away from the river a little past the old Steve's site and onto Jutland parade. There is a very steep hill at this point and I was very pleased with myself to get up albeit slowly. Nevertheless another marker on the road to fitness was achieved.
Jutland parade is between the river and the leafy green suburb of Nedlands. The river can be seen on the left and down as the road is on a ridge. The  trees and beautiful houses are all around. Sunday morning traffic was pleasantly quiet and we cruised and chatted on our way.
On the way back we stopped off at a cafe on Waratah avenue then back down the way we came.
