Today was a good day. I left Casino at about 6:20 and the skies were overcast with temperatures in the low 20s all the way to Whiporie at about 9:45. After a milkshake and some of a burger I pushed on, making good time. The temperature increased but only to the high 20s. Skies were still overcast with intimations of… Read more →

The climb out of Coffs was hard again. Flicking through all the data fields on the edge, I noticed that there was a stretch of 11%Â gradient… Read more →

That, combined with the excessive packing I have obviously done, meant that it took 7:30 hours on the road. The last 50 km from Whiporie to 4:30. I was almost out of water, too, given the heat and the… Read more →
The Coffs Harbour motel was most generous with breakfast. Basically I was given two for the price of one. The woman also gave me a banana, and asked if I wanted any avocados, as they had heaps. I ate everything but the banana, which I saved for the top of the big hill. An inauspicious start to the ride; I… Read more →
