First signs of summer

Bobbin Head, at night

How not to drive, Sydney edition

Overall my best day of riding, but a tough way to finish three hard days. 

The previous night I'd been speaking with the guy whose place I was camped at. His mate turned up unannounced. They were both a bit pissed they told me I couldn't ride the road I wanted to. I'd get stuck out there for days. I might die. I felt like suggesting they should join Bikepacking Australia Facebook page. I didn't...

The first 60km were great. I was worried about a potential storm and rode hard thinking I'd then be on a sealed road. Wrong. I had another 80km of rough, sandy, deep gravel roads to pass. I finally hit the tar and saw a light on, so went to ask if I could fill up and camp. 

At 2200hrs I was too tired so set up camp on their front yard. I found them the next day and they were surprised but cool with me. They said next time I'm in the area to do in. I joked I already have my camp spot.

In three days I rode 395km. 350km was 'unsealed road'. 300km of the this was really fucking hard. I do not foresee riding this section again on a gravel bike.  Ideally, ever.

I have come to see the flies as my friend and the mosquitoes as my true nemesis.
