Adelaide

I was going to have a good look around Mount Gambier today however at about 2am this morning I was woken up by thunder and lightening, and it rained from that point on until about 1pm this afternoon, so consequently I decide to head on to Adelaide.

I did the reverse of ride 82 ( The Hema Australian Motorcycle Atlas) so instead of riding from Kingston SE to Millicent (via Robe) I rode from Millicent to Kingston its 132km and well worth the ride.

After lunch at Kingston and a quick photo of my new found mate the lobster, I headed off to Adelaide via the Coorong what a wild and windswept place that is, it was a very straight road and there was a cross wind which made for challenging riding.

Although it wasn't what I would call a good motorbike road it was still very enjoyable and interesting due to the scenery, what didn't help however was the excessive amount of trucks heading towards me and spraying me with water, thank goodness for waterproof riding gear.

I arrived in Adelaide at 230 PM I had intended to stay in Adelaide for a few days, however I got very lost due to the GPS taking me on a wild goose chase and like any city the traffic was chaotic, I decided to head out of town and tomorrow I am heading off to Port Augusta and then up to the Stuart Highway.

Today I had a big riding day I did a total of 516 Km and was riding for 6;29 hours in total and no sore butt, so tomorrow I will be doing approximately 350 km, I will be covering big distances everyday once I head up towards Alice Springs. This has been the most enjoyable adventure I have ever had and will Cherish the memories.
