A few days off

Jeff, go you good thing. Ride smart....

I'm a bit late to this thread, but it's good to see a spot track being posted. It feels like it's been almost 3 years since i've been involved in a forum which had active riders, and I know until last week it had been 3 years since the last time I got away for a good long distance ride. Good stuff.

It has been a great five days of riding across the country. After two nights of issues with accommodation in Ceduna and Perth{ more details in the ride report} which left me with about 2 hours sleep both nights. I did not feel confident in my ability to safely continue back to Coogee so I reverted to my back up plan which I completed today around 9pm. I ended up with 8051km for the 5 days, not quite what I set out to do but I had a great time and am quite comfortable with the Tenere set up to be my choice of bike for the IBR next year.

In regards to the front tyre, it made it home but not sure if it would have made it back to coogee.

It was good to see Gus again and appreciate him coming out to escort me into the city. I already am looking forward to my next ride west.

Would love to know what the hell happened here on the way in given that on the way out, all was as advertised. Unless there was a detour which was lifted last night...

Yes there was a detour on the way in. On the way out there was so much fog in this area I may have missed the detour

Great decision making Jeff, a good lesson for newer LDRiders

Good decision to revert to plan B Jeff.

Congrats on the 50cc, looking forward to the ride report on this one.

Welcome home Jeff.

 

[Dicky Knee]

Congratulations Jeff.
It's always a great ride that when plan A goes awry, Plan B brings home some success.
Sorry I couldn't meet you on Friday night, so glad my fellow Richmond supporter stepped up. Good one Gus.
Next time.....

Well done completing Plan B. The data in the pic on post #103 is plain scary!

I can see you working towards a better result in 2023. Cheers.
