Longford to Hobart. Leg 4.

Richmond to Hobart.

I had a good night’s sleep after sticking with some modifications to my arm position. While my shoulder is gradually feeling much better, it had a bad night the first night of the tour. I just could not get comfortable. 3 nights into the tour and all was good.

Longford to Hobart. Leg 3

Oatlands to Richmond

This post is a day late. By the time we arrived in Richmond we were quite tired and then had to fight the wind to set up tents, cook tea etc. So the blog took second place to a nice quiet book read!

Longford to Hobart. Leg 2

Ross to Oatlands. 40k. Uphill.

The day dawned cloudy but in the 20s after a hot, humid night. We were out and about early, packed up and breakfasted quickly and were on the road just after 8am.

Longford to Ross. A short tour to start building some stamina before our March Victorian trip.

Back to Liffey Falls

We plan to ride to Hobart in a couple of weeks and it was necessary to do an overnighter to test Colin’s new ideas for carrying gear. Well, that and do a decent ride to build some stamina after a lazy few weeks.

Internet Connections then a Ride

There has been a lot of mainland smoke over Tasmania recently. As you know, Colin and I plan to ride in Victoria in March and the fires are still very busy. So I hopped on the Internet and investigated types of anti-pollution masks available for cyclists.

Gear sorting then a ride

Hmmm. The new lycra style face mask doesn’t seem to be worked properly. The bit supposed to cover cheeks and nose has given up the ghost.
