Ride safe mate and remember its not the destination it's how you get there that counts

Have a good trip. Based on the weather down this way the last few days count on wind and cold, but hopefully the sun may be out to make it seema bit better. What time will you be around Wagga Wagga? Just thinking/planning aloud here in case a day ride might be on the cards...

Except when you've ridden 4000kms in four days to get back home and you have to do it all over again 7 days later to go back to work. Still, I'd much sooner do that on my bike than go through the hassle of getting on a plane.
Have a good trip

Fortunately I don't have work in the way at the moment, so just getting into week day riding as a real option.
