ABOUT US:
GLEN AND MARGARET |
We live in Melbourne,
Australia, one of the most livable cities
in the world. We like to travel and our current jobs
in online Six Sigma training (if
you need statistics, statistical
process control, design of experiments or measurements
systems analysis, gage r&r
for your job try our highly recommended online
courses!)
allow us to do it more frequently than in the past.
We
cycle nearly every day near our house on the north-eastern
outskirts
of Melbourne. Our house is in the hills, our daily
15km cycle keeps us fit.
One day a week we go on a longer ride between 50
to 80km. We either follow one of Melbourne's dedicated
bicycle routes or go up on a more challenging Lake
Mountain ride. Several times a year we go
into the countryside and cycle for a few days on the
Great Ocean Road or in the Victorian
Spa Country near Daylesford. Sometimes we
go into Australian Alps and cycle
up the mountains to skiing resorts. We cycled up Mt
Hotham and Mt Buffalo.

Glen likes mechanical
challenges and looks after the technical side of
the cycling trips.
He has selected our bicycles and prepares them for
our trips. He is also the one who fixes flat tires,
packs the bikes into boxes or bags. Occasionally, he
carries heavy weights.
When we are on tour Glen keeps a diary with highlights
of each ride. This diary becomes the basis for the
trip report on this Web site. Apart from cycle touring Glen's big passion is woodworking.
He spends all his spare time in his woodworking shed
whenever we are at home.
