Heading off on the fat bikes for a day ride starting at Mt Crawford Forest just 4 days before Christmas Day was nothing more than perfect. The Mawson Trail took us on some great dirt roads and tracks with a few small climbs and lots of long awesome rolling down hill runs.
We came across the cutest little koala sitting on a low limb of a gum tree who interestingly watched us ride past. We couldn't resist but to stop and go back and take a few happy snaps of this little guy.
A great climb into Steingarten Riesling Vineyard gave us a breathtaking view of the Barossa Valley. From this vantage point you could clearly see the fire path from the recent Pinery Fire. Kilometre after kilometre of burnt ground could be seen as far as the eye could take you, showing the devastation this unforgiving fire created.
The final leg of this ride was a long, fast downhill into the valley. Great coffee was had at the end of the ride at a great little café in the main street.
