Thanks Gary.

Going to be a great read when Johnny writes up his ride report.
Has been some pretty hot weather, maybe he just needs a break.

No further updates, possibly phone problems again, or he is taking an extended break.
Still 300 Km from home.

I have had hassles with the phone and broke the screen so spot didn't follow me down the New England Hwy, I stopped for a chat and coffee at Guyra then headed on to Moonbi Range where the skies open and pelted me with torrential rains all the way in tamworth. I then stopped in to catch up with a friend Maryanne and enjoy her hospitality for the night. Tomorrow I hit the Putty Rd and be home 4 hrs later ending Stranglers Northern Adventure.
