It was a short but steep and picturesque day today. It needed to be short after last night. Yesterday, I cleaned up, washed my gear and hung them out to dry while I walked into town for dinner. When I came back, I sat outside my tent, updated this blog and checked today’s ride, then …
After a month at home, following three years of my big trip, I had an opportunity to get a ride in before the summer really got into full swing and made it too hot to enjoy. So I’m spending a week or two riding up through Gympie then along the rail trails down to Ipswich. …
Forster to Taree Today’s ride on Komoot I got up early to beat the predicted showers that were arriving around 7am. Last night, I’d moved my tent to a more sheltered area and had a great night’s sleep. I was packed and moving by 7:10 which is a record for me when camping. As you’d …
I’m in no rush to get home and on this final part of the trip I’m winding down and taking it easy. Freshwater to Little Beach Freshy to Palmy Wagstaff to Little Beach I had company for two and a half days and that was a nice way to leave Sydney. Then it was onwards …
This week in the UK was a little rushed but a load of fun seeing everyone. It was a sociable week and Banksy was still doing his animal related street art. It started on arrival at the BnB where I left my bike and gear and headed out with Minou to catch up with Tom …
Todays ride on Komoot Let’s start with an apology for there not being many photos today. There wasn’t much to photograph. I really just wanted to get to the terminal and onto the ferry. Reluctantly, I got ready for my last little ride in Europe, this morning, however, I decided to enjoy it. I followed …
Today’s ride on Komoot Last ride in Europe ! I’ll be sad to leave, but I’m looking forward to the next part of the adventure. Every day now, I seem to get slower and lazier as it all winds down. It’s a short, flat day of 35kms with a small town along the way. I’ve …
Today’s ride on Komoot What a terrible night’s sleep ! I remember every minute until 12am then every minute from 3am onwards. At least I got three hours. The culprit was a guy who was an absolute snoring machine. It wasn’t high quality, but it was consistent, persistent and loud enough to disturb everyone in …
Today’s ride on Komoot There was heavy rain last night but my gear and I were very dry. Even the tent dried out overnight as there was plenty of wind. It was also noticably cooler. I had the down jacket on again this morning when I finally got out of the tent. I’m going to …
Today’s ride on Komoot I’m definitely winding down. Yesterday was Sunday, so I didn’t have enough food for breakfast. No problem, usually every place has an open boulangerie. Usually, but not in Corbie today. The only option for breakfast was the Auchan supermarket. I wasn’t in the mood to make breakfast. Last night I discovered …
