Almost New Bike Day

 Phew, my new- to- me Surly Long Road Trucker has arrived.  I can't  put my hands on him yet though because he's at my mum's address in the city. 

There was a time in the last few days when I wondered if I was ever going to get it. It was sent from the next state to the north and went two states sweaty to the south west! Then,  almost magically it arrived overnight.  I'm not really certain it went interstate,  it could have been a tracking system error. To actually get where it suposedly went, it would have had to go past here.Either way,  he's here and tomorrow I get to assemble and ride my LHT! 



Where will he take me? Options include; Myall Lakes,  Barrington Tops,  CentralCentral West Cycle Trail,  Tasmanian Trail and ?

2022 ideas

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...

My Birthday Wishes

Image
 61 today.  Sixty bloody one! I look at people or photos of people and think "oh they're old" only  to learn they are only fifty something.   I still feel like a young man,  a kid sometimes.  Except for when i get indigestion from eating junk foods,  or hobble a bit of I've sat to long.  I'm much diet now than i have been since the early 1980s when i practiced to compete in triathlons.  I remember After my 30 year marriage abruptly ended and i took up mowing and gardening to pay the bills.  Each day I'd feel worn out and ached a lot.  It'd scoff chips and burger,  because i fees i didn't really feel good about myself.  But i do now, feel good about myself.  Yeh there's more weight to lose and a harder resolve to develop,  but i am proud of how far I've come. In February last year i traveled to the Northern Beaches and picked up a used Jamis  Coda- Sport touring bike  I've since bought a fatbike to ...
