Time to get out on the road again, and get in a decent ride.
« on: January 24, 2021, 01:48:08 AM »
Have started sorting out my gear for what I need to take with me next weekend. I am leaving home on Friday morning and doing a trip to visit with Russ and Sue at Korumburra, about a 600km run from here.
Probably stay overnight, and then visit some friends at Poowong East. Maybe return home on Sunday?
Am sick and tired of sitting at home for weeks on end.
Where did last year go? It's already the end of January for this year.

Skippys & wombats are probably a bigger issue, hey Kev?  :thumbs

Have a safe ride and we'll see you late arvo, I reckon.

Fingers crossed the weather will be kind, at the moment its not looking fantastic but hopefully that will change by Friday.  :X

80% chance of showers here (5-10mm) when I hit the road on Friday, so it looks like donning the wet weather gear to leave home. I cant get away until after 8am, because there's a trip to the strawberry farm (8am opening) required before I leave.

Weather's not looking good here, Kev... :o
From around 7am it's saying 100% chance of rain right through to 7pm where it will ease to just 90%...lol.

Then again, it's probably better to 'wear out' than 'rust away'  :grin

Bike is now packed, fuelled, and ready to go. Only a minor mizzle outside at the moment with rainclouds circling. Just need a couple hours of sleep before I do an early morning shop for cat food at 7.30 am, then the next short stop at the strawberry farm at 8am for some goodies, and then hit the road for real, heading east.
