Back on Land
Couple days diving was tiring for sure. I was looking forward to being back on land, and getting a few logistics done. On this type of trip there is always something that one needs to consider, plan for and take care of while you have the right time and place. First...
Diving the Great Barrier Reef July 15/16, 2013
Sunday I was able to book myself on a 2 day 1 night barrier reef diving trip. I did one in Cairns over 25 years ago, and was looking forward to doing it again. But I have not dived for over 20 years, so I had a little trepidation about my PADi certification, and lack...

New Wheel arrives, and leaving the Sunshine coast!
As my rear hub was getting worse, it seems like the more I was aware of it Thanks to Woody's Wheel Works for getting this wheel sent out, and for SYDADVGS for forwarding the wheel onto me in Brisbane. Was up early on Wednesday Am and rode 100KM back down to Brisbane...
Another day on the Sunshine Coast
Another day on the Sunshine Coast. A part of normal everyday Aussie life. But I have not acquired the taste for it Took a bit of a ride, but have had a really sore neck and shoulders. So I stopped at a Physio place. Good move on my part. They did a really good job...
Day off the bike July 8th, 2013

To the Sunshine Coast…..
Packed up in Coolangata. Not too sunny, but weather temp is great! As we packed up and rolled out of the hotel, there was a large group of young boys who were on a Footy tournament. They were liking the bikes and have a little video for later. Then off down the coast....
