Today’s ride on Komoot Bruthen marks the end of the hills and the start of the plains through Gippsland. I’ve been taking it easy so far, with frequent rest days and expecting to take a train from somewhere in the region, through to Ballarat. The weather was expected to get worse, so I decided that …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had another short ride today and had all of that nice produce to consume first. Unfortunately, today was on the main road, but you’d never know. It was very quiet and beautiful beside the Tambo again. I really enjoyed it. It’s similar to the ride beside the Mita Mita. There …
Benambra to Omeo on Komoot Omeo to Ensay on Komoot To Omeo Gee my biker friends could talk. They talked and talked and talked. I wasn’t part of the conversation as I was in my hotel room wishing the walls were thicker. After a hard two days, I was really tired and slept in before …
Day 1 Today’s ride on Komoot This was always going to be the highlight of the trip – if all went well. The route from here, took me up almost to Dead Horse Gap (with obvious jokes), then into the Pilot Wilderness on the Cascade Trail and onto the Cowombat Trail for a night camping …
Today’s ride on Komoot This was an uneventful day on a fairly quiet Alpine Way with a few showers thrown in. Overnight I had decided that my bike shoes wouldn’t last another couple of days so I’d need to get flat soled bike shoes without my usual SPD cleats because that was all that was …
Today’s ride on Komoot I can’t say “Dalgety to Jindabyne” without thinking about the steep hill after 14kms. Maybe that’s why I was happy to stay at the campground and talk this morning. In fairness, I slept until 9am when the sun hit my tent. Prior to that, it was a very cold night. After …
Today’s ride on Komoot It was cold this morning and with a shortish ride, I needed no other excuses to sleep in. So it was my usual slow start. In town, I’d found a combo coffee shop and Banh Mi place what was absolutely fantastic. I think I was their best customer in the previous …
Bungers to Bredbo on Komoot Bredbo to Cooma on Komoot Day One finally arrived and after a great catch up with Ross and Penny, I started to pack up the bike. I didn’t get far, as the rear tyre was flat before a pedal was turned. Not a great start. It was fiddly to change, …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today was a rail trail day. I thought all of my traffic days were over and this would be plain sailing. However, there were a few things at play. Firstly, last night there was 30-40mm of rain and then early this morning there was another 20mm. The trail was also meant …
Today’s ride on Komoot I’m sorry there aren’t many photos. I’m still not in touring / blogging mode (and really, the scenery has been pretty monotonous). I slept in until 8:30am. Must have needed it. It was ok too because I’d read that the traffic on the road to Widgee decreased around 9am. Breakfasted and …
