It was a bit fresh to say the least at that time so I stopped and added my glove liners and put my warm singlet on as well. That helped a lot.
By 10am things had warmed up a bit and the sun was out and it was beautiful blue skies.
It was an awesome ride all the way there. For most of the ride I just had this grin on my face, it was awesome!
Sat on about 10k over the limit (120kph)
I know full well how getting booked on the start of a trip can put a dampener on the whole thing. Although I did have some stints at 130kph following the occasional more adventurous car drivers staying behind them and using them as cop bait.
Around 3.30pm
Arrived in Sydney, well Campbelltown (About 50k out of Sydney) where my motel was anyway. 10hr ride about 4 stops. Felt good no probs.
Room was tiny but clean. TV Shower (Not that I used it!) toilet bed sink. It was a Budget Ibis and I recommend them. Great value at I think around $80.
Have a 30min rest and relax, get boots of etc and then give the bike a quick clean with a cup of water and my enyo. Also lube the chain and I am all ready for the ride back in the morning, leaving around 6am and hoping to go via Canberra and the Snowies. Whoohoo!
I thought I would have dinner somewhere here local and then go into the city to find the Stadium. But then I had a brainwave (Rare for me. :-))
What if something goes wrong and I get lost or something finding this place?
So I decided I would leave now (around 4pm) go to the venue then see if there is somewhere nearby to eat. Good play. Haha, on ya Pete you surprise me sometimes.
So get redressed in gear, check everything, ask for direction from chap downstairs at reception. He gives me simple instructions, straight down the m5 to city and turn off just before. I say fine I will get to there and then ask someone to make sure.
I did have the address in my phone navigator and had a set of headphones too but didn't think I would need it.( I had tried to velcro my smartphone on tank and handlebars for test when back home but it just didn't seem secure enough and I thought the first big bump I hit my smartphone will come crashing off. So I decided to go for headphones and rely just on voice instructions if needed.)
Anyway off I go.
Things are looking good.
Military style precision on the trip Pete. Well done!
This is where things started to go pearshaped...
