On friday night at my brothers place sitting down at a all round meal [pizza], my brother Zed said that he was going to Pt. Pirie for a music festival in the morning. So when I got home I asked Vanessa if it was ok to go to Pt Pirie in the morning. I got the nod to go, so I text Zed and said I would go with him to Pt Pirie.
Cat member Zed, true to form text me back saying he wasn,t sure he was going, the weather is not looking good. The responce he receive was " I will see you at 8."
The plan was to ride the scenic route through the Clare valley to Pt Pirie, go to the music festival, camp over night,and return Sunday.
In the morning I quickly got together the camping gear. Zed contacts me with the news he will be late and will arrive at 8:40am.
No problems and I was waitting for him. At a great rate of knots he arrives to declare that he didn,t have his camping gear. Well I said I can fix that and proceeded to kit him out: air bed, sleeping bag, and tent. Let's go. Now a 9am start.
The weather did look ugly. It was windy and wet, but to the Canadians it probally looks great. There is only one way to fix the rain and that is to put on the wet wheather gear on. Well that worked a treat. It didn't stop the wind but that was the only problem we had on our way to Clare.
The first photo is with the 1200 loaded and ready to ride. The second photo is our rest stop. After all we had covered 90 miles, so coffee and a pear.
