On the road again
« on: February 16, 2026, 03:47:18 PM »
Seeing as I will be going to the National Rally in Sutton
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

The good thing is we are still out doing it and not just talking about it
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

At Glen Innes getting fuel at a coffee at macas
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.
