Dawn cycle along the coast...

Right,  this is a long one, but a couple of hours on the coast cycling packs in a lot...
7am low tide and forecasted clear sky with cloud rolling in mid morning meant an early rise and out on the coast to get the best of the day; early bird catches the worm... and all that...
So using mostly stills from my Go Pro HERO Session 4 camera i shot a load of film today as the morning dawned majestic with clear skies..., and guess what? loads more of those Redwood pine planks have again washed up along the shore in the last couple of days!, as the ride rolls you will see the stacks of planks again washed up!...

East Beach;
Being down in town at low tide 7am i had the coastline mostly to myself apart from early dog walkers and a couple of runners, so rode again the ace section of wind blown sand alongside the sea wall before i rode around the wall of the Victorian bathing pool...

Here is some film along the East Beach,
Song is `maybe One Day` by The Barr Brothers

West Beach to Eil Burn...
Along stripped of sand beaches , and visually a very different looking coastline...

Some film and song is `When it falls` by Zero 7

Broadsands to Marine Villa;
Continuing along the coast and an amazing slow sun cast long shadows on the coast as i rode along side waves breaking creating a real relaxing place to enjoy the solitude, only a couple of dog walkers sharing a deserted  beach...

More film, this had some mono pod making the most of the sunrise...
Song is `Je Suis le vent` by Working For A Nuclear Free City...

Above the coastline now and along the cliff top sandy singletrack trails above Hanging rocks, before dropping back to the coastline...

Turning round i rode a lovely section of sandy singletrack trail through grassy dunes...

In the slot on Sandy Scalectrix...
Song is `Sail` by Awolnation...

And thats a wrap, i was back in NB and only 10.30am!, catch the dawn and capture the day, and it was as forecasted now clouded over... so worth getting up for...



More soon...
