Quick run around the Block
« on: February 25, 2017, 08:46:33 AM »
Went for a quick run from Hobart up to Deloraine and return yesterday , ran into Diesel at Deloraine which was great we had a quick chat , he took a selfie and we both headed off and I did my return trip back to Hobart,  420 km's just a run around the block , went up to Deloraine via Great Lake , the gravel section around the lake is a bit bony, need to keep to left and sit on about 60 kph :wht11 but the rest of road is excellent.  :wht11

Sounds like a great outing!  The ST can be a bit squirrely on gravel, but if you keep the revs up its momentum will carry you through most challenges.
Neat that you linked up with Diesel, although judging from his dominance of Facebook, you could hardly venture forth on Tasmanian roads without running into him.  Not much time spent in the office these days, it seems.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Great to catch up mate. Awesome weather to be out amongst it too. I'll see you at Woolli if not before.
