Heading into a stiff breeze I began the S24O trip to Ross. After the first 10 kilometers I realised this was actually going to be an S36O (sub 36 hour Overnight camp) trip as the going was slow.

Three Trikes do the Launceston Trails
Colin, Rob and I decided to spend Saturday morning cruising the Launceston shared bike / walking trails. We met at the free parking area next to the Mowbray Cricket Ground – where Ricky Ponting began his career playing grade cricket. Who’s Ricky Ponting? Well you’re not a cricket fan are you?

The patch for succeeding with the Coffeeneuring Challenge arrived during January. Organising the Challenge, checking the results and arranging for the patches to be designed, made and despatched is quite a job. Thanks Mary !!

My last overnight cycle trip to Deloraine was in February 2018 (https://tonyscycling.blog/2018/02/04/week-5-2018-including-an-overnight-deloraine-cycle-camp/#more-80).

Well, a holiday from cycling with only 43 kilometres cycled in the week. Instead we took the car plus caravan over to the north-west corner of Tasmania and stayed at Smithton for a few nights. Smithton is lovingly known locally as “Smiffy”.

My 2018 Challenge to Self (ride 100k a week or 5,200k in the year) is coming along really well. I will have to press on next week though as after that it’s close to the Christmas / New Year period when not too much riding can be fitted in.
