4th Day-April 1st

I was on my way to Orbost today. Got up and had some more eggs fro breakfast mmmm feels good to have eggs for breakfast. It was going to be a long day, had 100km today so I started pretty early. All was going well got to Lake Enterance that was 35km from Bairnsdale pretty sweet view. Had a little bit of food before lunch and kept going towards Orbost. There was some pretty long down hills which was pretty sweet but what do they say when coming down you must come back up haha There were a couple of hills had to climb but I managed all right. Got to Orbost around 5pm I think and set up camp and went to bed. Oh and yes i had a shower and ate dinner. It was a good 100km today. Have a good one you all!!!!!!

2nd day March 30th 2010

Woke up and started packing up to go to Sale. It was a warm one today!! i was pretty excited haha Had a couple flat tires on the way to Sale there was lots of glass at one point as i was speeding down the hill haha I prayed that my tire wouldn't pop at this time but it did haha lucky I gained control or else it would have been messy especially with the glass (ouch). That was as exiting as it got that day. All in all it was a groovtastic day!! Have a good one you guy's!!!

First day March 29th /2010

Left Melbourne and headed to Moe!!! It was a rough start because it started raining before i got out of Melbourne haha. Took cover in clayton and realized that i forgot my rain coat!! So I called up Stella's brother Sadikin to grab my rain coat. Thanks so much buddy for grabbing that for me I owe you big!!! After the rain lightened up went back on the road and met a groovy dude, his name was Robert who lives in chadstone. He was biking to Pakenham. Robert and I started biking until the rain came again!! So we took cover until it lightened up again. Back again on the road until Robert had to go his way to Pakenham. Biking on the princes HWY before I hit Warragul a awesome dude called Michael and chatted with him because he road around Australia as well. After talking to Michael I started biking again to Moe. I finally got there it was a really long ride and hard because I had a full trailor. At the end of my first day it turned to be a sunny day. Have an awsome day Blog Readers!!!
