May 14 to Kingston SE May 15 to RobeThis was an easy 45km spin with a howling tailwind. So much fun ! May 17 to Millicent May 18 to Mt. GambierI was going to go to Penola today, but made a late decision to try My. Gambier instead. Penola would have meant wineries and a …
I loaded up with food for 2 days and arranged to pick up water at Policeman Point before heading out of Meningie. I was looking for a place to stop for lunch and thought I saw a mirage – a sign for a food van. Coffee and a Toastie followed – unexpected yum. That fuelled …
Murray Bridge seems to be expanding, so it took quite a while to get out of town and onto some very quiet roads. I’d planned on grabbing some lunch at a cafe just past Wellington, but realised before I’d gone too far, that it wasn’t open today. So, I rerouted to Tailem Bend and had …
I slept in late as the sun warmed my tent. It was glorious. With no deadline, it felt great to just lie there and doze. I’m ashamed to say, I only left the campground at 10am. As you’d expect, there were some climbs and downhills to get to Mt. Barker for coffee. Then I found …
What a day. I left Henley Beach along the Esplanade on a cool, cloudless and serene morning – late as usual. One wrong turn landed me on a golf course and I was responsible for one guy duffing his approach shot, as I exited an underpass and skidded to a halt. He wasn’t happy. I …
Day one was a simple intro back to biketouring with just 20kms to the station for a train trip to Brisbane. Caloundra threw in a steep hill, but lots of bike lanes on the way out, so all in all, it was a good start. Landsborough had a bakery coffee shop where I waited for …
Day 26 Colac Colac to Paddy’s River FlatsToday started with an easy run into Corryong for an early second breakfast (a toastie of course). Then I headed to the Murray and over the border to NSW. It was flat for a few minutes, but brother it was steep for the rest of the day. 5% …
Day 24 – Beechworth to Tallangatta There was a nice dirt road out of Beechworth (once I found it), downhill through nice forest. It joined up with the trail which took me most of the way to Yackandandah. There, I met a really nice couple who started asking questions. Turns out they were bike tourers, …
Day 23 – Bright to Beechworth Unfortunately, Peter’s 4WD needed some major repairs, so it was towed to Albury. The others arranged a lift home and I continued my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the short time with the guys and I had to get used to carrying all of my gear again ! I still …
Day 21 – Eskdale to Anglers Rest This was a great day following the Mitta Mitta river up into the mountains and then the downhill and beautiful ride into Anglers Rest where we had the obligatory swim, meal and campfire. Today the climb was long and steady but through native forrest with some great views …
