That's a keen necklace Ian !

Ian congrats not only on the ride but on the journal. You may have noticed that your first journal here on CB is now ranked 4th most popular of over 1000 journals. That’s lots of hearts ❤️.

Old mate Vince’s (from Campbell) is still the 2nd most popular. I attribute this to his unloaded bike being even heavier than yours.

Anyway I’m proclaiming Inner North Canberra as the Cycle Tour Journal Hotspot of the Globe thanks to you and Vince.

Well done. I've enjoyed reading this on a morning before getting out of bed. Quite the epic. I've run into problems when I've tried to comment so I hope this works.

We discovered there’s a function room at the Dairy Flat brewery: Graham and I had a craft beer there while a Canberran showed a movie of his Tour Divide feat from Banff to Mexico. You can probably get AI to do in-betweening to turn a selection of stills into a motion picture.

Worked in Constantinople for Hagia Sophia.

Buy ticket, board boat; it sounds suspiciously straitforward!

I was thinking that you'd mentioned "beer" a bit lately Wal. I'll make sure I've got something in the fridge.
G'day Cora !

A plastic dummy pin probably wouldn't be durable for a commercial situation like a hotel.

Perhaps the architect was hedging their bets and wanted it to stand if there was a change of religious principles ?

Ian, I'd start with bamboo. On a different note, thanks again for your contribution. I look forward to catching up soon.

Jackie, thanks for all of your support. I'll be in Sydney early Monday morning and will stay for 2 or 3 days.

Is it like the Tour de France where if you crash out within a prescribed distance you are deemed to have finished?

Ian, I'm sure that they'll gladly flog you if you venture to Dumai.

Where does the lash come in?

Oh, so you’re into Dumai! A very understated entry.
