Thanks RideOut 🙂
I agree – lots of long rides have wonderful “working out life” sections where you have time to think.
I love it.
There were plenty of Pandanus in the dunes, but no coconut palms. Gilligan would not be pleased.

Each time i’ve ventured over to Tipplers on PWC I walk around the back paths & say to myself “next time i’ll bring my bike & tent”.
I felt like I could feel the calm wind, & hear the mesmerising waves, together with the “working life out thoughts” of the solitude of your ride.
Great to know both GPS & Cellular coverage is good inland on South Straddie.
Were you able to find any Coconut & Pandanus trees on the island?

Ahoy Cap’n Dave!
I am hopeless at maintaining bikes, but for some strange reason unbeknownst to me the fatty is holding together and not rusting. The only bit that needs regular attention is the chain which rusts within hours if you don’t hose it off and lube it up immediately.
I’ve noticed the brake pads wear more often, but that’s about it.
HTH

Great ride and write up Neil, as usual.
Just a quick question, how are the bikes holding up to the salt and sand? Are you noticing much of a difference in the maintenance requirements on the fatty?

I love photographing Adam because his excitement is so close to the surface. When he’s happy about something it’s difficult not to get happy about it as well.

And I agree – some of the places around here are amazing. I’ve lived here almost all of my life and still find new things every weekend.

I’ll let Adam and Darb know about your kind compliments – I think you’ll make their day too 🙂
