A long but good day of riding the big long climbs but completely unlike yesterday I had some down hill runs too! One of which I wound my bike out up to 58.9kms per hour! I hadn’t gone over 45 since my scarey incident coming down onto Mooni Mooni bridge on Tuesday and my bike got the speed wobbles at about 50kms per hour! It was pretty hair raising, at the same time I got speed wobbles, i ran out of shoulder, the road got rough and I had to merge into the traffic on the bridge because on my ‘reconoitre’ back in ! August I failed to notice that important fact<\/p>\n

Anyway it was all pretty scarey. I ended up getting new tyres on my bike as they were’nt seating right in the rims. I had been a little ‘reticent’ to take it up to a high speed again, but today I just ‘went wild’, there I was coming down a huge hill 30kms from Goulburn, sweet wide shoulder smooth as a baby’s butt and I thought what the hell, now or never and wound her right out! It was exilerating, I nearly hit 60kms per hour! And enjoyed every second of the descent. Good to feel like i’ve ridden through fear after my ‘near death experience’ on Mooni Mooni.<\/p>\n

My crew came into Goulburn when I was about 35kms from town to set up camp and do a few jobs. I pulled up at Marulen for a hamburger with the lot and a coffee. I’d been visualising the hamburger for 20kms! It tasted pretty good.<\/p>\n

Was very happy\u00a0to pull into camp here (after I overshot the caravan park because again I was going flat out down a hilll after an extremely steep long climb into goulburn at Governer’s Hill! The van park was just before the bottem ofthe hill, there was no way I was pulling up! The Govern’ers Hill Caravan Park has generously donated a nights site fee to ride4acure! Which I am very grateful for.<\/p>\n

Am riding into Canberra tomorrow to Campbell whihc is very close to Capitol Hill. My niece Kate and her husband Adam are generously letting us ‘camp’ in their front yard with the caravan! Amanda will be flying back to Melbourne and my sister Veronica will be taking over the ‘ute wheel’ for a week. It’s Joe’s birthday on Sunday, the big 11! He’s pretty keen that he’ll be spending it with some family and it’s a day off the bike for me!<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the people who are sending me lovely messages of support! I absolutely appreciate them.<\/p>\n

I especially appreciated a photo Fiona Murray sent me yesterday, she’s droving a mob of cattle with another crew from Wingham to Nabiac for a campdraft this weekend. The future of ride4acure eh?<\/p>\n

\"Yes<\/a>

Yes I beleive it is!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
