Five of the Best Roads for Cycling in Australia

When it comes to scenery, Australia is truly unique. The desert and the bush in the outback look almost alien to the eye because of its one of a kind rock formation. Many cyclists enjoy these views while they trek across state lines and some of these rough terrains prepare them for tough races. 

But cyclists are not limited to the outback; there are rainforests, endless beaches and pristine city streets. However, some trails need a reasonable level of fitness and require experience in bike touring. Self-sufficiently is the key if you want to disappear on a bike ride for two weeks. Just be sure that you have the right equipment. Check out http://www.merida.com.au/ for ideas on what you need. Here is a list of five of the best trails you can ride along.

1. The South Coast of Western Australia

Not much traffic along this road which is good because there is plenty to see when it comes to beaches and nature. Sightseeing highlights include; wineries, Margaret River, Cape Leeuwin lighthouse, rail trails, Greens Pool and national parks. With plenty of hills to climb up, the South Coast is an interesting rollercoaster ride on two wheels. 

2. Great Ocean Road One of the best bike riding trails in Australia; many cyclists venture here to sample the area's diverse hinterland. Whether it is mountain biking or cycling along the stretchy road, you can see a lot. There is the Twelve Apostles, Bells Beach, Port Fairy, rainforests and numerous waterfalls. Animals unique to Australia's wildlife also make an appearance. 

3. Melbourne's Bay-in-a-day trek This trail takes you around the famous city and is 200km long. Cyclists are able to stretch out this trek over as many days as you like because there is a lot to see at Queenscliff and Geelong. Museums, Indigenous art and culture, old architecture and train trails. As for the city of Melbourne, it is the shopping destination of Australia. Bourke St Mall and Swanston St is the place to go. The cuisine is very multicultural and hotels are a plenty. Crown casino is there and also a large aquarium. Luna Park also calls Melbourne home. 

4. Sydney Harbour Bridge Known as the most recognisable landmark in Australia, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a great way to see the harbour. Over 1600 commuters use this bridge weekly and that includes cyclists. This bridge is the busiest link in the Metro Sydney Bike Network. Besides the harbour, cyclists can see the famous Sydney Opera House and sample many of its restaurants. There are also many great parks to relax in for a picnic. 

5. Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge The largest and most popular race in Queensland, this is a road challenge, many cyclists wait every year for because they can raise money for charity. 100km long, riders leave from Brisbane’s South Bank and travel along the Pacific Motorway to Broadwater Parklands in Southport. But riders can choose to complete the 60km long trek or finish at intervals. To help keep this event fun, the organizers get live entertainment and setup plenty of food stalls.

NYC Sightseeing

I love to go places and I always bring my camera with me so I can have some memorable photos to document all the places that I’ve been to. I’ve been stucked for several years in my job in a very tight schedule where I consumed my vacation leave mainly for attending to my kids’ school activities. My work demands that I’ll be at the office always so absences are far from my mind leaving me no time for myself. I’m just glad that I had chances of traveling in line with our church camp meeting fellowship. We held our semi annual camp meeting on far away places so my liking for going to different places coincides with our church travels.

My likings for traveling to various places lead me to browse online for vacationing resorts and great places to visit. Sometimes it helps some of my friends who have the time and money to spend free time going out of the country and vacationing. They asked me to search about places and if they feel that the place is good they plan their vacation on my vacation finds. Recently I’ve browsed through New York Sightseeing sites and found that they have packages for group sightseeing tours which offers visiting to different places in NYC like downtown tour, empire state building observatory, Washington D.C., top of the rock observatory deck where you’ll get to see spectacular views of New York and many other attractions of the city. My former officemate was so happy and excited upon seeing what I have found for her and she planned her trip three months from now.

Travel To France

I’ve always love to travel to places with great historical background and culture. It has always been my favorite subject in my high school days. I dig various histories of different countries especially those with modern culture now thinking how they reached the modern transition. I’ve been reading a lot these days and been fascinated with the rich culture, background history and tradition of France which is a much known country now. I also love the beautiful places there and been fascinated with the 14^th century castle Fort La Latte in northern Brittany. I came to know its beauty and how it came to exist up to now despite being attacked and dismantled. Now it has been restored and you can visit its spectacular beauty.

Beside the splendor of the magical beauty of the castle there are many other places that a traveler would love to visit and stay on Hotel Paris where you can have the comfort and experience the luxury of staying in a hotel with all the best deal you can find.
