I have 2 mates heading to the Super Bikes at Phillip Island, I did it 12 months ago with them to Lakes Enterence
So today I rode with them to Tamworth only 520km
I turn around and ride home tomorrow
It showed that I am not ride fit. No way I could do a FarRide or Ironbutt anymore
I don't know how Biggles does it at his age. But I guess I'm carrying a few more kgs
Which I am working on but my knee replacement in 6 weeks

I am trying to get as many km as I can because in 6 weeks when I get my knee's done I will be off the bikes for a few months

422km since I filled up here yesterday and not on reserve yet
So happy with fuel economy
Got down to 16° at Guyra. A bit chilly in a summer jacket but could be worse
Only 300km to go :runyay

I'm planning a straight through run to Canberra on the Friday. See how I go. Got a couple of other long rides in March- Glen Innes for Men@Glen and Parkes for the IBA Muster.
Well done Bill
500km days are enough for me now
See you at Sutton
