Wynard day 2


Today it rained end of blog.







No just joking, I didn't do any riding or photo taking today as it did rain for most of the day, there was a window of opportunity when the sun came out and that lasted for approximately three hours, so I took advantage of that and went for a walk along the beach and into the shops at Wynard, I managed to pick up some Quells for sea sickness as I have a feeling that it may get rough on the trip back to the mainland and it's better safe than sorry.

I got back to the Caravan park and decided to wash my bike and you guessed it within five minutes of me washing my bike the clouds rolled in and it hasn't stopped raining since. Oh well that's they way the cookie crumbles
.

Tomorrow I am off to Cradle mountain for my second last day in Tassie as the ride from there to Davenport is rated highly and it's in the Australian Motorcycle Atlas. I will probably do a few very short walks of an hour or so whilst there.

After I do the ride from Cradle mountain to Davenport it will mean that I have ridden all but a few of the rides mentioned in the above book for Tasmania, I am now really looking forward to tackling the Great Ocean Road and checking out Adelaide and the outback as I have never been there.


I will be in North Melbourne for three days while my bike gets serviced, this will give me a chance to rest and gather my strength for the next big leg of my trip.

I have been on the road now for 2 months and covered 8000 miles since leaving Howard as the Spyder had approximately 2000km on the clock before I left, and no saddle sores yet, I have a tough arse that's for sure. I reset my second odometer when I got the bike serviced at Canberra and I have done 5600km since my last service, it doesn't take much to knock the kms up that's for sure.

  1. So your to blame for the rainy weather in tazzie, you should know that you can't wash bike's (or Car's)or hang washing on the line for that matter. Hey it just occured to me, we can control the earth's weather, next time there is a serious drought you wash your bike and I'll do my washing, together we can save this planet, yay! go us....Need I say who this is from? none other than your ding bat sister, who else? P.S. Smart move getting the quells.
