Hello people,just thought i would do a small bloggy just so i can keep up with what day it is and for my records. How am i going ,not to rude for you is it yet.
Day 27 was a bad day as far as kms went because i just couldn't get it together. Woke up in my cold damp tent and felt like a train had driven over me. Still it wasn't raining and i knew once i got going all would be o.k. Took off down the road and new i was in trouble because the legs wouldn't flow.Probably due to not resting properly since Pam's place in Esperance some time ago. An old coach of mine told me that you have to rest or you will fold. Words of wisdom, old Grasshopper.

| Thinking of you John |
 |
| This is where the my main bloggers went into a feeding frenzy because i stopped longer than 20min ,please. |
Met a nice bloke just down the road who had a little hobby farm and we spoke for a while and i took a photo of him and his kid and dog.Now the kid has
no pants on so all you prim and proper people look away or get your black texter out.

Tim and his dog(Do not blow this photo up if you don't want to see a small boys penis)
Continued into Port Lincoln and arrived at the pub on the foreshore and the Bloggers went mad, Bluce ,Linds and Kelv couldn't contain themselves. What are you doing there(now should that be there,their,they, hey who cares)Good to see you boys alive and pumping. I love it. Doesn't seem to of happened tonight ,footy must be on.
Decided to stay in Port Lincoln and do some washing and get a good nights sleep ,plus pump some food into me.
Day 28 was a good day ,a gentle SE breeze pushed me along and i felt good knowing my clothes where clean and i wasn't getting rained on.Listened to the footy and ended up in Cowell and have booked in to the local pub,showered and going to get a meal.Well just got back from my meal ,2hrs later,unbelievable
Well after that big" t "bone ive just had i need to get some sleep,oh and one more thing ,if anybody has a problem with the content of the blog please refrain from insulting me and other people openly on the blog and making a fool of yourself,just ring me and talk about it .Its hard enough riding all day and having to worry about the perdantic.
GOOD NIGHT X

I, for one, love the Blogg and the photos and the comments and the tracker most of all.....
ReplyDeleteNo pain no gain. I read that somewhere?
Sleep well...
Bluce, i am thinking of turning the tracker off for a while.It's running a bit too hot,have you a problem with that.Also i dont know where i am because you have not told me,am i in Adelaide?
DeleteNuh, 2 days time......
DeleteLove your Work
You will get a rest from me, I'll be in Denmark next Saturday but free Wi-Fi at Marys house should still let me follow you.
Night Grant all okay
ReplyDeleteIt all good love! You 're doing a mighty fine job than the rest of us. I'm am well pleased with the progress of your blogging, considering you have only picked up this modern day form of diary-ing in the last couple of months. Keep to task at hand & look forward to the many adventures you have ahead. xx J
ReplyDeleteI hope you slept well and have eaten a great big breakfast this morning. B/c it is freezing over here and you're getting closer to the cold Eastern states.
ReplyDeleteDon't fret about the blog or bloggers. We sit with our legs still, looking at a superman's journey on our maps with orange dots on them, and having cups of decaf tea. You just ride, think, and blog for us all. Nice lot of hits, too, as you carry us all along on your journey.
Dont worry mate ,i hate the cold like you wouldnt believe.At any stage it gets too cold i am going to rest up,i have a few days up my sleeve.
DeleteHi! Grant Good morning. We thank you for your idea about box in Pattie's BD. Its a huge success. We miss you though mate, I wish you were here. But anywhere you are doing very well. wish all be good. love your bloggs too. Have great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys,yes ,perhaps the idea was mine but it wouldnt of been a success if it was not carried out too perfection as i heard it was.Well done,have you thought of going on Australias Got Talent?
DeleteMight send a copy of the video to CH9 funniest home videos for abit of cash hahahahaha just joking
DeleteHey Grant,
ReplyDeleteThank you again! last night was such a great night, was thinking of you! was totally wishing you were here.
Patrina
Good to see it was a great Birthday and i wished i could of been there too.By the way did Joy do the righty and be a good M.C or did she become a spastic by 9pm .lol
Deleteshe was a good MC but was spastic after 9pm haha.
DeleteGreat to see ya going so well, all is good here, keep up the good work. Don't worry about bull shit bloggers!!! Pete.
ReplyDeleteEven better to have you on board for the first time Pete. Three cheers for Pete everybody.You see its not that hard guys. Yeh, going o.k considering ,and its great to hear all is good back there. And about naughty bloggers,i had big poo's this morning and all is good.
ReplyDeleteGrant you are the main show in town !!
ReplyDeleteAnd we all get a lot of pleasure of your progress .
KEEP PEDALLLLLING !!! :-)
Please tell me you are resting your weary body in the pub on the corner and not where the tracker shows you -sleeping in a car just outside? I know accommodation out there is expensive but go easy on yourself. Remember "it's the journey, not the destination", so take a well earned break soon eh?
ReplyDeleteYeah ,the bods a bit tired from doing a lot of ks in the last two days but dont worry i am resting as best i can in cheapish pubs and motel type accommidation at night where possible.Today i will just plod along toward Adelaide as i have a slight headwind.My tactic is take it easy into the wind and make the most of it when its with me to build up a buffer of time ahead of schedual. I am bound to hit rain as i am going more south , then along the Vic coast. One other thing is that its hard to take a break if the place your tired is just crap.Port Lincoln was one of the best places ide been to so that was good for a break,Esperance another. Where as the Yalata Road House which is closed is a no go zone no matter how tired you are .Let day 30 begin.
ReplyDeleteHi again
ReplyDeleteyou mentioned listening to footy. In the local paper here, they have the AFL ladder and even left off the last placed team!! Only had 17 teams...my team no longer exists. I think I'll take up cycling.
Good morning Grant just dropping by to say hi. We are with you all the way.. Joybell must have told u already that I check your blog and your whereabout 4 or 5 times a day lol
ReplyDeleteJust had a chat with the Cuzz,he pretty stoked by the sounds,dont know if he been on any serious nappy duty yet though.
ReplyDeleteHope the cold stuff not getting you down too much slugger,remember the journey should be the pleasure this time hope the winds blowin in your favour mate.
Day 29 was a great effort into a slight headwind, which probably feels a lot stronger when you go as fast as you do. If you slow down it will be a northerly by Wednesday (day 31). But by then you will probably be heading east towards the best state in the nation. Watch out for Jim doing a little jig, you never get 'home' out of your blood! Bet he never thought he'd get back home!
ReplyDeleteColleen reads excerpts of the blog to the Prep/ones. They are following you on a big map of Australia and will be learning about States at the same time. You might get some questions from them soon.
Lots of beaut places to rest up in Vic and it will be very cold by the feel of it.Do you need somewhere to stay a night in Adelaide or will it be just passing through?
Snowed in the hills of Vic yesterday, stay warm.
Well picked up Jude ,i am onto the wind direction and agree with what your saying and i am looking for that northerly your talking about. I am treating it like a relay race where and you take off and move off slowly and wait for the baton to get to you then go like mad if you can. Make sense? Yes ,Pat told me Portland is where his dad died which i have to ride through so i might bring him out if the sun is shinning that day for some fresh air.30 days under my seat is hard going.
ReplyDeleteColleen ,bring it on but dont make the questions too hard.lol
Hi Grant
ReplyDeleteJust checking in to see how you are. Amazing that you have gotten so far but then again, having known you for so long, Iam not surprised. It is great to hear about Haz and Tan having a baby, that will sort the bloke out!
Hope all is going well.
Cheers
Derek
