The 1st Day of Winter

Today is officially the first day of winter in Australia.
The day break is about 615am ,and it usually gets dark around 5:15pm nowadays.
My cycling friends told me in the summer, it's bright at 430 am in the morning, right up to 8pm!
Can't wait for summer to arrive :)
I tend to get lazy with my workouts in the evening... i blame it on the early nights...they just make you very sleepy by 7pm!

This pic was taken yesterday morning on a group ride.we cycled about 65km,although it felt more like 8okm as it was a rolling course with headwind along the David Low Coastal highway.This place is called Coolum Beach, about 2km from my work place.
Somedays i like to chill out at the beach during my lunch hour, as the view here is just so breathtaking.

Me taking a pic of a group cycling ahead of me.
i tend to join different groups each Sunday...just to get a feel of different group rides.
Some are very serious, and just get the work done...some are too relaxed i wondered if they were just sight seeing.haha!
But i like them all...they have characters!!
most weekdays though, i have to cycle on my own because i have to get ready for work.
Alot of the cyclists here don't need to work..how lucky!

Sundays.....like yesterday, i like to pop over to the Sunday markets.
There are quite a few doted around the areas, so i just take my pick .

I love the roasted sweet potatoes, passionfruit yoghurt and the Franfurter Sausages ....all of which i had yesterday at the market!
so fresh n yummy.
I got some nice farm veges too..broccolis, asparagus. some rockets n spinach, along with some fresh fruits.

I normally eat very healthy..but i must admit i can't live without my treats!
Dark chocolates, icecreams (yup, even in winter!), pop corn,croissants n muffins.....
