Unacceptable losses
Not only did I realize this morning I’ve lost my Team Moustache cycling bibs, when I pulled into a service station about 40km into my day I noticed my sleeping mat was hanging off the side and…..
The extremely nice, moderately expensive hammock lent to me by a friend was gone. Fuck. With over 100km ahead this was the last thing I wanted. Unloaded all my gear at the station and headed back. Would ride the whole thing if needed. Luckily it was only about 7km back but still took up about 45 minutes. And just as I guessed it was under one of the trees with a magpie that attacked me before. I choose to blame the bird.
Loosin’ my shit
Today I lost..
My last bandana.
An incredibly useful tea towel.
My sacred Foster’s bar towel I stole from a pub in London because the bartender was being a jerk.
Not a good day for hanging onto things.
I can see the border from here!
It was super hot today and quite a bit of climbing so I didn’t get a lot done. Looking forward to heading back to the coast tomorrow.
Bunch of animals I tell ya
Woke up to a sizable hole in one of my Ortliebs. Not going to be an easy repair. And nothing will replace the missing crackers.
That chair’s for a child
Lady at register: You know that chair’s for a child?
Me: That’s okay, I’m a child at heart.
Lady: …
Knockin’ ’em down
Riding consistent 100km+ days so decided to leave the highway and pass throught Port Macquarie on my way to Hat Head.
Todays total lack of sleep…
Brought to you by frieght trains and gale force winds.
Work work work
Twelve-thirty and I’ve done just over 25km. Awesome. But! I did do my 3 biggest climbs of the day and took an hour long technical interview for an upcoming job. So that’s something. Think i earned that cumquat cake.
Slow day
Going to take it slow and easy today. Yesterdays big roll took it our of me and now my knees and ankles are feeling it. On top of that I camped too close to the road and the trucks where engine breaking before enter town and to wake me up I’m pretty sure. 9am ans I’m enjoying my second coffee, going to see about a camp chair then rollout. Still cannot find a flag..
