Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

[MacDoc]

A dark history. Noraly looks in excellent health but this was upsetting to her

China continues to impress with the modern cities, broad streets and superb infrastructure.
Motorcycles banned in the CBD
I mean this city is 10 million....!!!!
.......

Should had a feather...again jumped wrong way
....
Oh glad I closed my window - only 15 now and no cover on.
Good riding days coming up.

Might add a layer if I go up the Gillies....tho I have a mind to visit the cassowaries at Eddy Bay

Always get a kick out of this photo and fond memories of riding with Bruce when he had the identical White Burgman 650 Exec to mine in Canada. Made for the occasional confusion

gorgeous day - pigging out at babinda bakery on giant apple turnover and coffee milkshake. they don't make fruit smoothies anymore so take a chance on a cooffe shake with half shot

this place is jammed on weekends
it is a perfect sun cloud day
Off to chase the big birds.
Finally bought a new kidney belt and feels very good so far.
$23 all in shipped and better constructed than my last one. Aids my non existent core muscles.

Very pretty, lotsa green but no feather

Chilly clear night. Might be okay for short ride later today.
Managed to stay awake for second LoTR movie..
Then out cold. Don't really want to get up for tea...only 16C and I'm nice and warm in bed. Had a protein shake and panadol...should hold me till morning which is sunny and little wind.
Heart beat running a bit high for flat on my back - might take my pills early since the beta blocker works quickly. That 200 km ride was tiring as not riding enough....no cassowaries. New kidney belt worked the charm and with a few extra stops nothing too sore when I got home which was later than normal.

Gorgeous weather - mid 20s - little wind.


Bit chilly for a swim but the kids didn't care and too cold for stinger nets yet. ( keep potentially lethal box jelly fish out ).

Not as nice a day for riding but quite warm for spring ....tshirt all day. Caught up on sleep after sketchy night.
Watching third LoTR movie with partner who is recovered mostly but still grumpy

Marc back on electric EVE II - falling in love with it again.

I think he is very wrong about EV bike future. He has a perfectly good long distance ride with 300 km plus range and only needs the batteries to get lighter and more compact and that certainly in the works near term
