Back in Adelaide and I now need to make a call on the Melbourne decision.

Truth be told, I’m up for it.

I think it could be a rewarding 3 weeks.

And I also think it could be cold, wet and difficult.

This is how it stacks up.

In these circumstances, I am more likely to go for it than to shy away from it.

The rewards are greater than the potential suffering.

And besides, I’m not quite ready to give up and get on that plane just yet….

I’m staying with friends Geoff and Hellina in the Black Forest area once again and also have some other people to catch up with whilst I’m around.

I’ll be here at least a few days and maybe even up to a week, depending on what happens.

Immediately, the bike is in need of some minor but important maintenance and I have also established a small shopping list of various items to take care of as the opportunity presents.

This is always the small stuff but it needs to be done, whether you choose to sweat it or not.


Neglect this and it is not at all surprising how quickly the bigger stuff can start to unravel.

For now, the weekend is on and Adelaide is the place to be.
