    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Went to sleep too early, up too early. FB stuffed up and refused my hiking poles as medical devices, :mad: and the Gumtree ad attracted a pretty good scam attempt which I reported. Put the poles up as Trekking Poles and FB accepted it. :rolleyes: Heading out shortly up the Gillies for ride...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Watching Noraly in Yemen a good atmosphere match to listening to Audible book of Lawrence of Arabia autobiography Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Try to get another ride today as weekend looking wet but also some forecast for today. Just lovely dry ( for here ) 25c at 3am.

Got in a short ride today, dropped off the heart monitor bag that I forgot yesterday, picked up my camera and some loot I'd left with riding buddy and scored a double Jr Whopper on Hungry Jacks Shake n Win. Tried to get...

    Cruising Australia to New Zealand

    Why ever would you do such a cruise. Boring open ocean. By all means do a cruise around New Zealand with lots of stops. https://www.adventure-life.com/new-zealand Australia too big for cruising. You need 3 weeks minimum for Australia hot spots and that's by plane. It's nearly the size of the...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Had intended lunch with friend but he cancelled so napped morning/midday away. All harnessed up with heart sensors for 24 hours. Might watch some late night TV as may be tricky to sleep with the wires. Marc has picked up a cute motovlogger from Turkey ...years on the road and more to come she...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Hard earned 3. Lovely day - two rides, voted in Canadian election and 3 on Wordle . :sneaky: I tried the clear plastic cover for the watch but did not like it and it interfered with the lift to view which is instant without it. The OLED screen is so sharp and crisp it's a shame to put anything...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Not sure what a Meadow Muffin is but green moss is a regular thing here and have a torn rotator cuff that still hurts a bit to remind me. Newish bike to me and simply no ability to ride frequently ....a week off and it takes time to get back into things...shake the old bones into place. Still a...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Politics down yonder. One of my more miserable rides today ...heat was NOT an issue. Good ride up the Gillies until I hit the dark cloud over Atherton. Picked up the laptop I was after to replace the 27" iMac that got eaten by the tropics. Have a 27" Dell I will use with the 15" Retina I picked...
