16/1/17 No trains on this track

  Time for a ride , no trains , so we'll get on the bikes and head down toward Old Tallangatta via the rail trail . Victoria has been very good with their old railway tracks that are no longer in use , they've turned them into rail trails for people to ride & walk on , this one also has a separate horse trail - and that's about as much talk about horses as you'll get from me !!
  The trail heads to Old Tallangatta , and you can go the other way , all the way to Wodonga !! We might settle for about 9klms all up . The trail follows the road and also some of the water line of the dam . The joy of the rail trail is that the hills are very slightly sloped , so there's no big hills , these ones are just long - one went for about 1.5klms down into a bit of a headwind - hmmm , we'll have to come back up this one !!
  There were a few windmills along the way , this one in a bit of disrepair .

 Views of the lake are pretty good I must say .

  After passing the 4klm mark , we turned and headed back , the long haul up the hill was waiting quietly . The slight incline was a good way to go , better than we thought , we made it back up to the bowling club and then headed back to the show ground . It was getting hotter , and we had things to do ( the blog ) , so that was it for the afternoon , till the neighbours came over for a chat over a beer or two !!
  The sunset was a surprise , the lake looked different as well .

  That's a wrap , see ya !!
