Day 15: Moree to Muswellbrook

Day 15: Moree to Muswellbrook Share The last big day of riding, fairly straightforward riding into Muswelbrook The day started under cloudy skies and a light drizzle – it was a wet-weather gear start to the ride, one that doesn’t always imbue you with a good mood; the mood this morning was quite sombre. The weariness had taken hold of a number of people a [...]

Day 14: Mitchell to Moree Share Mitchell Cafe After soaking in the wonderfully warm Great Artesian Spa (inside Mitchell’s aquatic complex) the night before, we were greeted by a cold, wet morning. It turned out to be a great idea to park the bikes undercover overnight, and we all chuckled at Rob who’d washed and polished his bike the night before, howe [...]

Day 12: Waiting and wildlife

Sep18
2010
Written by andrew
Share After an 8:30am start for most of us (Tony was finishing brekkie and would catch up to us), we rode out under threatening skies, which cleared up as we reached Longreach. Most of this journey we rode through flat land full of nothing, and it made us realise just how BIG this country is as well as how diverse the scenery is – f [...]

Day 11: Mt Isa to Winton

Sep17

Written by andrew
Share We attempted to get away from Mt Isa at 8am, and succeeded by 8:15am (recurring theme) The road out towards Cloncurry was much better than the straight roads into Mt Isa (much better scenery and the road is a little more challenging!) At Cloncurry, chaos set in as half of us decided to stop for fuel, whilst Raz, Darrell & myself [...]

Written by andrew
Share Day 8: A day of Rest This was to be our ‘rest’ day, with many of us staying a second night in the Glen Helen Resort. However, the day greeted us with rain – so much so, a number of riders were concerned about the rain setting in all day and the prospect of the road being flooded (thereby not being able to leave) di [...]

Day 5: Port Augusta to Coober Pedy

Day 5: Port Augusta to Coober Pedy Share We had a bit of a stage-managed ride-out, with the ceremonial ‘meeting of the packs’ of East coast and West coast riders. I’m not sure how well it looked on camera so we’ll have to wait and see! Rideout The ride-out was spectacular – we had a double-file formation ride out of Port Augusta and for the fi [...]

Share A quick little jaunt into Waikerie after yet another fuel stop before the day started – One of these days we may all get away on time! We had a quick photo session/interview with Kyla from the Murray Pioneer as our official news item for Renmark. Waikerie was our next destination for morning tea – the cherry ripe slice f [...]

Day 3: Hay to Renmark

Sep09
2010
Written by andrew
Share ThisĀ  was one of the straightest pieces of road we travelled down – there were a few curves here & there and no change in altitude (i.e. no hills). It was great to get this road out of the way in the early morning – otherwise, the road can be deadly if you did it in the afternoon when you really want to have a rest! [...]

Day 2: Grenfell to Hay Share Bikes outside Grenfell Men's Shed As was expected, chaos set in early today – with many not getting their breakfast until after 9am! We’ll have to tighten up as the km’s will start to increase from here on and 8am and 7am starts beckon soon! We assembled outside the “Men’s Shed” and lined the [...]
