 Day 27 of the Around Australia Ride from Ceduna to Port Augusta started in the rain, had rain in the middle and was still raining at the end. It just did not let up all day and to top things off, it was very, very cold. Continue reading the full Day 27 Ceduna to Port Augusta post.   This was a tough day for me emotionally. I woke in a very bleak mood and couldn’t really shake it for the rest of the day. I’ve been on the road for almost four weeks now and there is only one week left of the official ride, so maybe that was it. Or maybe it’s the sometimes monotonous countryside, or going from hot to cool to hot to cold, I’m not sure. Continue reading the full Day 26 Border Village to Ceduna post.  Day 25 of the Around Australia Ride dawned clear of the previous night’s storm. Everything was coated in a layer of dust you couldn’t exactly see, but made everything feel gritty – Missy and Lewis said they were shovelling the sand out of their sleeping bags for the next week. Our itinerary today was from Balladonia to Border Village and with nothing keeping us around we hit the road early. Continue reading the full Day 25 Balladonia to Border Village post.  The 24th day of the Around Australia Ride was destined to be another dull day on the road. Unlike yesterday’s destination of Esperance, Balladonia had nothing more than a roadhouse and a bar, so who wanted to be in a hurry to get there? Continue reading the full Day 24 Esperance to Balladonia post.  The 23rd day of the Around Australia Ride. After the previous day’s road having so much interest and fantastic scenery the road to Esperance was quite a contrast in its dullness. This suited me fine as I was keen to get to Esperance and spend some time exploring there. I was born in Western Australia and as a very young child we used to spend holidays at Esperance. It would have been around 12:30pm when I rolled into town – the first time in about 30 years. Continue reading the full Day 23 Albany to Esperance post.  Day 22 of the Around Australia Ride with the Steven Walter Foundation took us a short 400kms from Margaret River to Albany. Today was always going to be a good day as there are many scenic roads, things to go look at, people to visit (for me), and stuff to explore. Continue reading the full Day 22 Margaret River to Albany post.  Day 21 of the Around Australia Ride was another designated rest day, this time to be spent in Margaret River. I opted to take a winery tour on that day and had originally planned to spend the morning getting an update done and would explore the town later. Continue reading the full Day 21 Rest Day Margaret River post.  The stint from Scarborough to Margaret River was the shortest day of the Around Australia Ride at 290kms. But despite leaving Scarborough at 9:00am I didn’t pull into Margaret River until 5:30pm that night. So what did I get up to on this shortest of days? Continue reading the full Day 20 Scarborough to Margaret River post.  Day 19 of the Around Australia Ride was a rest day in the suburb of Scarborough, Perth. This was also intended to be a bit of a service stop for riders as we would have been on the road some 8-9,000kms by this stage. I decided I would only get a tyre change and had this completed the day before so I could spend the entire day just relaxing. Continue reading the full Day 19 Rest day in Scarborough post.  A scenic drive that wasn’t scenic, The Pinnacles, a lousy motorcycle dealership and would you believe it, another sunset.
