Riding on the Plains - ACTION and Others near Isabella Plains

[Sir Pompously]

While working on the Shelter project, I rode from my house in Monash into Isabella Plains up and down Ellerston Ave, and then onto Ashley Drive.

After getting accosted by some locals for 'hanging around' with camera around neck, before kindly informing them of my interest and a link to this site (They were happy after that), getting beeped constantly, had a Hungry Jacks Thickshake thrown at me (Like always, missed me!), and wasted 15 minutes for a dart that did not show up until I left the spot, I present to you some photos from the day.

From all of my years cycling around Belconnen, I've never encountered that sort of behaviour........interesting.

Nice photos.

lol, Shockingly I have had things thrown at me in almost every district in the ACT. Water Bottles, Drinks, food and all miss because they throw it when they pass me, so it always lands infront (They are so smart, ha ha ha ha haaaa). Just bored teens with nothing better to do. It also does not help when you sit still, if you ride there is no problem. But sitting still, you are as they say 'A Sitting duck'.

Probably a fair call from the locals, given the proximity to the schools. But a rational explanation and a link/folder of work usually reassures most decent people.

As for the thickshakes throwing thickshakes, that's pretty normal.

Nice photos though, like the old bus stop sign, looking a bit peeled though.

Like I said, I've never experienced this, how very odd.

Perhaps, Todd, you were exposing some flesh where you shouldn't have been
Taxi anyone?
