Is there not anyone else in here? My bikes are disassembled and packed so I can't ride for the next few weeks.
At least one good thing about moving from WA, I'll have electricity and gas supplies!

Permanently this time though. There are no mountains to ride up in WA.

Thanks, that is on the list when I ride down to Hobart. However the descent might wear out another set of brake pads.

I knew so many people who returned to Kal after leaving for a while. I hope I don't become one of them.
Cheers,
Graeme

It's back for good for me. It's my last night on the net in WA. Next time I appear, I'll be back in Tassie.theMISSIONARY wrote: i only just got back from Kalgoorlie in october....back for good it looks like too
I just got an email from the local cycling club (NW) and they said membership costs a massive $1 (one) per year.
That's a recreational riding group not a racing group. Couldn't see me racing

Will do. Keep an eye out for an old codger on a green Mongoose Randonneur, with bright yellow panniers and an oversupply of water bottlestheMISSIONARY wrote: might have to catch up when you get back

I'll be around Burnie area, but will venture all the way around Tassie once I get settled.
The bikes are packed, and the BOB trailer is packed. Just hope they make it OK.

The bikes made it however the tourer sustained a bent rear derailleur. Complete lack of parts for bikes here. Still trying to locate some mudguards

Also got some weird looks riding a loaded tourer up the Bass Hwy. I've still got the full water carrying rig attached to the bike
Managed to max out a new high speed on this tourer at 86 k going down a big hill.
I've got to get some warmer clothes though. Touring sandals with wool socks and over boots works better than MTB shoes.
With no net, ordering parts is going to be a headache.

I saw a guy riding in the rain wearing a yellow rain coat on the Hwy just out of Burnie when I was down there in July. Could it have been one of you guys?
