CLC Ride 4 – Fish N Chips

Finally, we got some good rain. It rained from about 4.30-9.30 last night and 9.00-1.00 today. Now you can’t deny a frog and turtle some habitat after it’s rained for the first time in two months. So we went for a long detour ride to the takeaway shop that included some habitat time along the river. (Our ride was 14 kms – it is about 1.25 kms directly to the takeaway shop.)
I had a piece of grilled fish at home I wanted to eat, but I also wanted to test out my guts and see if we could eat fried chips. Potatoes have been a staple for me the past couple months, and the only way I think I’m keeping the weight loss at bay. But fried foods give me problems even when I’m healthy, so I wanted to see if I could tolerate a little bit of grease. This will make going out to eat with friends a little easier if I can manage a few chips. So a long trip to the takeaway shop rounded out our Sunday afternoon and qualified as a CLC ride..

Ah .. River Red Gums. River Red Gum Magic.
Yes, Tony. Though I was a little nervous standing underneath them to take a pic on a very windy day after a long hot spell! Em
Love your beautiful surroundings – not sure I would want the flies, mosquitos, snakes or heat though. The red gums are gorgeous.
Thanks, Suzanne. I put up with all the nasties and the heat in exchange for the low population density and being able to go out and have roads completely to myself at times 🙂 The beauty here is not always an ‘easy’ beauty, or a pleasant sylvan or a lush pastoral, but it is unique and diverse, and I’ve grown to love it very much.

I must be a complete guts..I could eat all those chips, no problem. Corowa looks like a nice, sleepy, atmospheric place to relax in.
Probably a good thing you like to ride and be active then, if that doesn’t seem like a lot of chips. The potato volume there is about 6 large fries from Maccas! Of course, portion sizes are just crazy these days anyway. I have never been able to eat large volumes of fried foods without consequences – that’s probably been a good thing!
