Subject: RE: Where you train... Only good news here I'm afraid! Melbourne has a great cycling mecca called Beach Rd (name says enough) and if you head south enough on it you can put in 200km+ round trip on a variety of flats, hills and beach side riding. Plus there are other more hilly routes in land. (Beach Rd is reputed to be one of the most used cycle training routes in the world averaging about 7,000 cyclist per weekend on the one road!) Running: Lots along the bayside roads and tracks. Swimming. Heaps of facilities, but the jewell in the crown is the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Center which has TWO 50m pools (10 lanes each) One indoor, one outdoor plus an indoor 25m pool. But the hours are the best - 5:30am - 10pm most nights of the week! Diving Pool in the foreground, 50m Indoor Lap Pool behind it, 25m Lap Pool through the glass wall on the left. 50m Outdoor Pool at Sunrise..... Basically we're not short of choice! Sorry - that's probably made things worse .... |
