The bike is services and has a new rear tyre and I have had a delightful visit with my old mate Richard and his lady Jenny. And Nina is waiting with controlled impatience for this old mans adventure to move on to completion. So its time to get back on the road.
As part of the process of servicing the bike I have to pickup a couple of small parts from a bike shop just north of Perths downtown area. The route for this pickup took me right through the heart of Perth, along the downtown waterfront. Not something I tought I would be doing during the planning of this trip.
Never the less the pickup went off smoothly and after that it only took an additional 30km east to get out of the city and back into the country side.
Thus today the priority is to get to Esperence, 200km south of last nights stop at Norseman, where there is a Telstra shop.
The bad news for the day is that I was so focused on getting to the bike shop and then out of the city that I completely overlooked any photos. Going forward I will plan shorter riding days and make more effort to actually look at what I am passing.
