I was getting a new bike ( used purchase really) and my insurance on the old was running out at 10:30 am. Its also my partner's birthday so I had to get back get her a meal and drink then dump her at her sisters as I am out with a buddy on a yearly 30 mile hike tomorrow (just over scottish border). Am keeping a close eye on the weather forecast to see if it is worth going.

at one point I had a really bad cross wind and the bike must have been leaning over quite a bit as on coming traffic was making room anticipating the worst. Daring not to touch the brakes, I just powered down for most of the journey.

I love an optimist Garry, the sun seems a long distant memory BUT the 21st has gone (that passed by quick!) so the nights will slowly be getting lighter from now on.

Was 32 degrees C (about 90f) when I took the dog for a run.
The heats not bad but it's quite humid at the moment.

nice one tony, just out of curiosity how far and how long in time do you reckon to get from one side of oz to other. for me its sunderland to maryport 99 miles and probably a couple of hours.

[madsod 0]

No sure about furthest points, 
Shortest route between me (Brisbane) and Perth on the West cost
is about 4350k's, about 2700 miles,
 but you REALLY wouldn't want to go the shortest route.

I've seen it done in 3 days but I'm not game to try.
