High Country Midweek Mission

Just over a thousands km in two days.

So glad I opted to go through south Gippsland instead of slabbing it between Warragul and Bairnsdale.

The GAR was excellent as always. Stopped a few times for snaps, this was near Tambo Crossing.

Thelfie.

Jimmy finally popped his cherry scraping both pegs and later on his pipe.

Made it to Harrietville by about 18:30. A few pints, a feed and later aswim was just what the doctor ordered after a 600km day in the saddle.

Day 2 Mt Beauty was magnificent. Despite the pensioner aged cyclists littering the road.

 Happy Valley tourist road was great, no tourists and ample happiness. We swapped bikes for 5 minutes so Jimmy could experience the big twin. The street 500 was funny to ride for someone my height.

 Stopped somewhere near Whitfield to mingle with the bovines.

 Biker tan lines.

Stopped by the Goulburn river and had to withstand the temptation to swim.

We said our goodbyes at Marysville and I headed towards Reefton.

Somewhere just off the road on the downhill to Reefton.

The bike looks well used now

All in all a great 2 days ride. Last time I had to cut some of the routes short because my riding parter had tunnel vision for home so it was great to run some sections I missed last time. Next time i'll be adding in falls creek and beyond.

I wasn't as ass sore as I expected to be after 600km. My shoulders felt it by middle of day 2 mainly because my bars are still too low.

Motorcycling is awesome.
