not far but fun

[jape]

50 to 60 km ride this afternoon, it is as much as my back can handle at present but I took a camera anyway! Click on the pics and they open a bit bigger.

This is my local road. Lucky ain't I?

and then you turn left! or in any direction really!

- It all goes on for hundreds of km of linking roads, between the main roads, all pretty much the same and travelled by locals only, on motorbike, horseback or 4WD if we are getting firewood, dumping shot enemies, looking for gold in the old stream beds ...

Its not too bad to ride, a bit slippy and rutted but we all usually go slow anyway out of respect for one another - except when we see something like this in front of us!

Woohoo ... drop a cog and rev up!

Ooooops -

tuesday ride tre&#1.jpg

- a storm fallen tree, plenty of them, always have a chain saw in vehicle, doesn't matter on the 'bike, just find a way round.

And finally, how can you tell the local corrupt town councillor lives on this bit of smoothly graded track ?????

I hope you enjoyed that ride as much as I do on most days!
