As you can see from the map, my original plan was to hit Langhorne Creek today. This far into the ride though I knew that was not to be!

Born in 1946 I learnt to cycle about 10 years later. On a bike with rods connecting brake levers to the brakes - anyone remember those?
I emigrated to Australia (from the UK) in 1974 and moved to Tasmania in 1984.

The first hour or so were great. Very little traffic, smooth carriageway and (shh) a tailwind. 15 kilometers travelled at an average speed of 14.9kph which, believe me, is cause for delight and wonder at such good fortune.

Another day of gentle inclines and declines. Ride with GPS reckons I climbed 400 or so meters. That’s highly unlikely.

The first day on the revised route. What will the Ruddock Highway (A66) be like?
