Lockdown

 No riding of late due to this area being in a high level lockdown.  "Those undertaking exercise are required to remain within 5km of their homes or risk a $5000 fine". 

So, rather than go round in small circles or go further and stress about being fined,  I'm not riding.  Its very frustrating, but as least we're still alive and healthy.  

Boohio!

Target Ride: CWCT

Image
 My plan to ride the Central West Cycle Trail is to leave home on the first Friday in April and cover 370km* and drive back the following Wednesday.  (* I won't be doing the "detour" that  includes Mudgee.) A train commute is possible but leaving Sydney at 3am would mean camping at Central Station overnight.  The trip would take till the following afternoon.  So I will probably take my daughter's little buzzy Hyundai.  My bike of choice at this point is Surly Long Haul Trucker with gear to stealth camp & gather food and water en route. Setting as though my max daily distances are under 100km and my Surly's gears are being uncooperative,  and I haven't done m no u than one night bikecamping ... there's work needs doing.

2022 ideas

 I don't hold to the idea of resolutions on new years because i develop new ideas each day.  Myall Lake swimming spot.  I've never heard anyone say they wish to do more(pa it's) work.  Most are nursing or health from being overworked,  or accommodating to working,  or just want to do mow of their e activities.  Every day i want to do more cycling,  gardening and quality writing. I 've been drawn to the dazzling lights of movie quality YouTube videos.  But when i learned about the amount of time this people spend working to pay for the equipment, not  riding but setting up shots or flying drones and then while days editing. Frankly,  i'm perplexed by the tomfoolery & curious as to the motives of those people (cyclists,  egotists, self-promoters, or content as fill for advertising)  While i am tryong to video my adventures,  the attitude is vastly different.  I am motivated to portray simply certain aspects off...

Can't Believe it Doesn't Have An Engine

 This morning,  in light rain I took 'Cliffy' to play on the bush and the beach.  But I'm nervous; will my bike hold up,  will I hold up or end up pushing most of the time? I needn't have worried a jot.  Ok, before every downhill comes an uphill.  Well mostly.  I selected a quite suburban street and as luck would have it,  half the distance was closed to car traffic because they were digging the road up.  But Cliffy impressed the flag man and we were invited through. We then Henning a private paved road into the Glenrock National Park. Many MTBs would be familiar with this area because the NPWS encourages bikes to use the area and it's riddled with trails.  But, today I had little interest in any trails. I was ready to hit the beach.  I met two mtb riders going the opposite way,  in light rain we just gads a wave and a few hellos. Up ahead a spray of sand entered the main track.  That's me! Gulp, a small dune. What! My fat...
