Well, I had to take annual leave from Friday as work is very slow this time of year & the missus started a new job, so has no leave available.
So, I am not hanging around the house doing chores. I am jumping on the bike early in the morning & doing a 4 day solo ride to explore the Victorian high country, which is an area I have not been to before and has some amazing roads & scenery (Snapey & Irish can confirm)
Looking at just over 2000kms total, with a 600km journey down, the long way over the blue mountains & through Cowra & Young then onto the pub at Tumbarumba.
Will take some photos along the way & post a couple as I go.

Sounds great Sweaty, love those long rides, and I don't mind solo either.  Have a great trip mate & take care.  :cheers:
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Been a great days riding in hot dry weather today. Most of it in 36 degrees, which is fine when you are moving & better than rain. Clocked up 560 kms through the Central west area, so the pics are not that great, as it is very dry out here this time of year, but hopefully some nicer pics tomorrow in the alpine region.
First pic, is leaving Home at 6am
Last pic, says it all.

Well deserved Sweaty!  I'm picking 1 isn't going to be sufficient either . . .     :cheers:   Is that an Air Hawk you've got fitted?

I've had more than 1 now Col  :cheers:
& Spot on about the air hawk. I have had my seat reshaped to take out the slope into the tank, so this sits on there quite well. I need it, as I am backside deficient (my wife described my rear end as "a board with a hole") so yes, it's pretty flat  :grin:
So, the air hawk helps, but I still get a sore arse after a couple of hours  :thumbs_down:

Gone a bit overboard with the Xmas deckies in the bar !!

They heard Sweaty was coming and took them down rather than have them stolen. :onya:
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

That wasn't Xmas dec's it was mould growing on the wall, and the red patch on the left hand side one, was where a guy had his head slammed against the wall  :grin:

Still tried to steal them though Pete  ;)
