He might buy a special bottle, but being a serious rider, it would go in the pannier, not the mouth. :thumbs
-
Doing well, around 750k completed. Beenleigh is only about two hours ahead.

So anyone spotted the Christmas game being played :think1

The last time I rode through the Oxley from Bendemeer to Port Macquarie I was hit with a massive thunderstorm which reduced my speed to less than 20k /h in the worst part of the twisty bits approaching Wauchope. There were two massive lightning strikes very close to me that brought down trees in the valley on my right as I puttered along. The rain was so heavy and visibility so bad, it took me 4 and a quarter hours to travel 270k from Tamworth at 2 am to Port Macquarie at 6.15 am, at an average speed of less than 65kph for that trip.

Only just catching up with all thats been going on in the net and out on the blacktops since your start mate.
Capes all sorted but fishing about in busted LC's full of grease is not the fun this ride must have been.
Now I'll go read this un-proofread article.
Cheers mate.
