Stroamin' round my back yard

So remember this was my first solo trip and I must say it really took me a bit to feel confident riding by myself. (Its not that I am not a confident rider, but at the start of most rides I get nervous about the what if’s anyway, guess that is my cautious side coming out.) The whole feel of the ride felt more like the day I picked up my first bike, in that I was nervous and almost a bit scared of the what if’s, of riding but yet I knew the excitement that came with bike touring and still the reality of the whole thing was right there and things like recently, a friend of on another board had an accident and was laying in a ditch for 4 hours before someone found him, and all of a sudden you think back to reading others trip reports and all these ppl take about the spots trackers etc....and I had always passed it off as a bit of girls safety issues, but now here I was, lenna only really knew I was heading for dargo, and yet had no idea what roads I was riding too get there...Reality really hit home, if I made the slightest of screw up i was on my own......
