Had enough of looking at it so I thought I'd register my CX as a chrissie present to self. Pulled on boots at 6:30 am and took 'em off about 9 pm...... suffice to say she's running well - more than well in fact, the 15 years in that blokes shed in Adelaide seems to have made her hungry so it was my duty to get her back in her natural habitat; eating up the miles!
First thing, I rode to my sons in Sydney - just 20 klms to make sure all was well... after coffee and a bit of Grandad time I ventured off out of town and reacquainted myself with the 'old' Pacific highway (since the building of freeways, there's a little used, spectacular road that winds it's way through the ranges between Sydney and Gosford)... what a ride! Dropped in at 'The Pie in the sky' .... a cafe on top of a hill where - just like Bury Hill or countless other haunts - thousands of bikers gather and roam the carpark talking bikes..... got a few "I used to haves....."
Fantastic day in perfect conditions - dry, mid twenties, little bits of cloud..... bike is unreal..... hope the piccies come out.......
