Booralie Demise

Sad times Sad

As part of the ride today we eventually found our way to Waratah Park (aka. the Koala park - end of Namba Road, Duffys Forest). The Booralie trail was probably dissected many years ago to make way for the park, and as we note there's a dirty great electric fence around it blocking this trail. You used to be able to follow the fence line and pick up other side though.

Time & Tires

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

So, it's 4:23pm and I've been up since 6:30am, and all that has happened is:

- Have breakie, shower, dress, go for a ride.
- Come home, very quick snack.
- Strip & clean bike. It was filthy, even though it got a good soaking with clean water after the ride you could hardly tell.
- Rotate tires. Damn! These UST just won't reseal without a decent compressor if they aren't new... involved a trip to the servo.
- Shower & change again. Ahhh... human at last! Eye-wink
