You've done very well there Ian !

Oh I like it Wal !

I think we’d get a good sized quorum for your Welcome Home friday ride.
If it’s good weather, and an easy ride.

Otherwise we ride to Hall General store and line up every cyclist we find out there for a photo.

Bill, we agree! I went snake too.

Stav, yes, time has flown by. I've probably still got some hard meals ahead. One reason for going to tourists spots is that the food is better. My banana pancakes this morning were terrific.

Terrific idea, Graham. How will we get everyone? Photoshop!

That parchment is past my ID skills other than to say it was a snake...

wow, you've made it to 100 days- fabulous!! great to see the food improving

When you return to the Bush Capital, city of cockatoos, we should organise a group photo of the Friday Peloton to send to Indra.

Ian, good point. I hadn't noticed it. I think we put it up for debate while I keep an eye out for a closer look. Ian

Ian it’s the additional daily tailwind & downhill allowances the cycle touring bosses have been fighting hardest.

I’m thinking a general strike by hardworking cycle tourers (and the Friday Peloton) at the nearest beachside warung would sway the negotiations in a favourable direction.

I’m familiar with the roller lever brakes from my 1980s Richards Bicycle Book, but is the tackle on the bow some crude suspension?

Graham, the union have been fighting this for ages. They want a dedicated hostel every 10 km in countries where you cannot camp. Ian

Thanks Daisy. They did look rather new. Ian

Ian riding almost 130 km on a day when you are still unwell is above and beyond the call of duty. You should ask your boss for some extra sick leave, or contact the cycle tourers’ union.
