Dusty Hills

Here's the GPX from today.
Looks like it cut off the Acheron way bit for some reason, but the last bit was Acheron Way, Warburton, Montrose, home.

Not a cloud in the sky once we got over the Spur


Smell the serenity!


Lookout at Eildon


Lunch stop at Bonnie Doon



Thanks for a great day @glitch and @Squizzy
Looking forward to the next one.

Another great day was had

The thick and grey morning muck cleared within 100m from the DomDom Saddle, clear blues skies for the rest of the day from there, hooray.
The planned route was turfed at short notice for various reasons..... and replaced with a willy-nilly alternate, hehh.

Thanks for a pearler of a day and a most enjoyable 330k's



In the hills above Thornton

Not quite dead yet!!

Great going!

I thought we were getting close to 300k's @glitch but looking at the fuel level, 330k's looks closer to the mark.
Such a great day, the dust was epic and I'm sneezing it all out tonight
I am going to sleep like a baaaaaby tonight.

Thanks for a great day guy, early night for me.

Good to go on a ride and see something you have never seen before, a phone in Pete's tankbag.



On the way from Thornton to Eildon, I think, it was just a blur.





Greg's other light started working later on, the bumps must have got things together in the right way.



These LED headlights are great stuff for being seen in the bush.



They don't like visitors up there.



And whilst I was waiting to close the gate for Pete, the farmers turned up, a bit grumpy, but no guns came out, so all good. I did think they were going to run Pete off the track though



All in all a good day. Thanks again guys.

They certainly don't, and never have.
That track turned out as bad as I've ever seen it.

As for the phone
Still getting used to it, forgot the crank-handle at home

If I had known you were riding some easy roads I coulda tagged along on my soft-roader.

I like this one....the DR checking its turf

Bug incoming.... it's mate later made me half-blind exploding on the left lens of the sunnies @ 80kmh

Haven't been up here for years, nice to see the place hasn't changed

Crest and shire-border (Murrundindi/Mansfield) along Coles Rd.

Always a favourite...Acheron Way.
And it's in superb nick at the moment (all repairs finished).

Thanks for a truly enjoyable day, guys....but I started to get a sore arse near the end.
I need more practice before NZ, that's for sure.

Easy …. My arms are killing me today. I have DOMS so bad I could barely brush my teeth
