I found myself with some unexpected time off work and decided to make use of it with a 3 week trip.But where to go in February in Oz,our hottest time of the year.I would have liked to hit the desert country but with temperatures exceeding 45C that was'nt really an option,so off to the Victorian High Country it was.
Things did'nt start out well when the night before departure I thought I'd check the tyre pressures on the Pegaso only to notice very little brake pad on the rear caliper.Definately not enough for the next 5,000kms.No problem,I'll get a set tomorrow and delay my departure 1 day.Wrong.I could'nt find a set to fit anywhere.There was only 1 option left,move all my gear onto the GSA.I did'nt have a problem with the GSA except it being a rather,how can I put it without being rude,portly fellow.This would reduce my options on some of the harder tracks I wanted to take but 3 weeks in the big girls saddle actually made me realise what she could do as long as took her for a ride and not vice/versa.Muscle that big beast and she's not to bad.
So morning arrives and off I go.First destination is Mogood Lookout.But some interesting signs along The Clyde Ridge Road.
This one was interesting to say the least.
