Off for my first ride in 2026 :love: Lovely day considering time of year here and what's around us weatherwise

a ride up the Gillies on New Years Day and Hungry Jacks deal.

Cheese burger, fries, 6 chicken nuggets and a small latte for $6 all in
Some compensation for being old :D

526 turns on the Gillies counting both directions and no issues other than touched my toe down going downhill this time....my feet are too big clearly

This is not likely to continue but was fun work
Start word a big pay day!
Waiting on Sunday to see how the crazy Germans are surviving floods.

Sneaking in a ride between showers. Damn it is thick out - glasses fogging up.
Two brekkie sandwiches and a free flat white for $7 ....that's enough for breakfast AND lunch.....actually as turns out ....for supper.

Did expect this

Did not expect this :D dodged all the rain on a lovely 200 km loop cept the last km to home got damp - great ride - the new helmet working out well and insanely oddball audio book. Not hurting anywhere either. Means might have a 400 km out and back range for a complete day ride.

Longest motorcycle ride in a while, 200km+, dodging serious rain

- slept like a baby. :coffee:

Serious flooding elsewhere ....pushed my luck with rain but loved it. Supplies to stores are cut off from the south.

A day at home. Watching Rings of Power
might be some riding - cooler temps and no sun.
Also makes it easier to watch the big screen daytiime.
Got 9 hours sleep and needed it
