Warm up activity

Hi all

Managed to get my bag packed for a second time this arvo, super sizing to the standard luggage case.

The spent 45 minutes setting up my internet access remotely via a USB stick.

Worked wonderfully once Michael Hawich and Anne-Marie moved me to an accessible part of the house. You gotta love technology - especially when your a guru like me.

Watched my boy Jonathon win at debating (if only Souths wins could be that easy . . !), visited Daniel (the other son) at his A grade game, and returned to the GI for a warm up for the week ahead.

Nerves have settled after a few beers. I'm sure they will be there in the morning.

Am hoping to upload some videos each evening of the day that was. May need some tech advice form my Personal Trainer (try S Crook; M O'Beirne; or M Hawich. I'm on their CV now as a personal referee)

I hope to share each evening some of memoirs of the last 4 months over the next 7 days blogs.

Tomorrow we ride 114 ks. I feel a little Bill Murrayish; can I chuck it in now?

Not likely; the bags are packed, the bottles are in the fridge (non-alcoholic) for the ride; and Anne-Marie has plans for the week ahead.

Go the bunnies!

My ride to Burragarang Lookout

This was on Saturday 24th April when Mark Kelleher, Ray Bernasconi and I rode out to this Warrangamba dam lookout, and then came back via Picton.

I was cactus at the end after about 100kms of some serious climbing.
Hi anyone

I am still a novice on this thing.

Thanks to Mike O'Beirne and Simon Crook for getting me going.

Tomorrow I am going to upload a picture. Wow!

Then I'll begin my journal via blog of my bike riding experiences for this mammoth bike ride.

Cheers for now
