FRE #58 – CJA – Day 4
Being mindful of fuel consumption as the winds are still hanging around but not as ferocious as they were I reworked my plan last night. No hurry today just a leisurely dawdle to Tooleybuc. Hardly anyone on the roads makes for a peaceful ride this morning and we roll into Wellington to catch the ferry …

FRE #58 – CJA – Day 3
Today I get to have lunch with a bunch of my crazy friends who “get” why I/we do this. Cape Jervis Tavern is the destination another new location for me. The start of a new dry day and I was on the road earlier than the plan…just cos I woke up and there’s no use …

Can you believe we have been coming to this nirvana in Australia for 10 years now…..I have to almost pinch myself 🙂 Well this year I almost didn’t make it. Work got in the way of my scheduled annual leave on Friday and had me “grounded” back in Melbourne on Thursday night with the next …

FRE #54 Bermagui
WOW, the first FarRide I’ve organised and the nerves were a little high. Would the event work, would people turn up, how will I manage check-in? All good questions and as it turned out all ones I didn’t need to stress about. People turned up (on time) well most of them, the venue was better …

FRE #53 – Eden
So not qualifying for this ride either since the hand is still up the buggary but doesn’t mean that I still can’t attend. Dr gave me the go ahead to start riding but not cranking out big distances…which we agreed to disagree upon….LOL but settled for time in the saddle. Set off nice an early …

Dougall Far-Car-ing to FRE #52 Wandoan
