Day 67 was probably one of the most uneventful days so far on the trip. Left Benaraby this morning and arrived in Rockhampton about 3pm. No problems with anything and the road was good. The wind was with me at first then turned against me which convinced me to stop at Rocky overnight, as well as the place is having a cold snap and i didn't want to stay in the tent. I didn't take any photo's either as nothing really was worth taking.
I had plenty of quite time today to do some serious thinking, and this leaves me to now to let my supporters know that i will be making a huge announcement tomorrow. I will ride as normal and decide when and how i will put the message across correctly. I'm sure some people will be relieved and others not so. Some people won't care either way but i cannot worry about what other people think in this case but i will make the announcement regardless through the blog so there is no confusion.
Thanking You
Grant.

ReplyDeleteIs it something you should share with your sister first?
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to create suspense.....until tomorrow!?!?
ReplyDeleteHi grant, Pam ere, life in Esperance isn't as exciting as your adventure but we enjoy reading your blogs. Work is still a 4 letter word - looking forward to USA trip 'looking for Elvis'. by the way have you found your coach yet? My sister is visiting at the moment - having a few days break. 15degrees and raining here dosn;t seem to be getting any better. Ted is a happy little vegie mite, Mick took him for a run (no Mick dosn't run or exercise, should have said drive) to our friends farm yesterday - Ted just loves the smelly paddocks, a real foot rot flats dog usually comes home stinkin. Well my friend will sign off now,happy travels.
ReplyDeleteHey good to hear from you Pam,i often think about you on this trip how you treated me way back there in Esperance.You literally bought me back from the dead. I owe you BIG time. Remember when i said "if i make it",you just confedently said,"course you will make it" has really kept me going strong.Take care.
DeleteWow! two new additions to the blog jus like that!And fine reading too Slugger.
ReplyDeleteKitty Kat getting pretty excited to see you,going to make you a BIG lasagne for a carb hoe down.
Think I will pick you up at the BP as you reach the outskirts of town,will be easiest thing.
The Bluce Hwy comes to a major set of traffic lights at a place called City Gates(no sign for this) and turns into Nebo Rd as you go straight ahead.You will see a big BP on the other side of the lights on your side of Rd,ezy pezy maaaate.
Looking forward to the Big announcement JONO n KK.
Mate ,just pick me up.:-)
DeleteOh No! "The Anouncement" I need to get you back to Asia to be "Wuved wong time" then you wont have to 'Come out' sorry, make the "Anouncement". I'm just like Daniel, can't wait?
ReplyDeleteNearly time to turn "Left"
Looking forward as always to tomorrow.........
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT?
ReplyDeleteOK so let's start speculating...
One of the women you have photographed has called you and wants you near her sign always?
You are so missing Joy and Pearl that they are joining you on the bike?
Bluce and Rat have decided to be road support for you?
You are leaving Jim in Queensland b/c he liked surfing?
You have decided to never blog again?
You have given your bike a name to be announced tomorrow?
You have found the meaning of life? (42)
What ever the decision, I will be against it said Tony Rabbit
O.K Tony. You where right with a couple of things only,i am missing Joy and Pearl.

ReplyDeleteStevie Bell
Hope to see ya big fellow for a catch up and we can discuss sore bottoms
DeleteI give up! Those Queensland winds are totally unreliable and unpredictable. One minute there's a howling gale off the coast, then just north there are strong southerlies, just what the Doc ordered. Then everything switches around and you can't tell what's happening. Crazy. I miss being reassured that you have fair winds behind, or that you are battling the headwinds. I could feel the pain, sort of, vicariously, sort of. Now, in the pineapple state, I have to be checking every hour to see what's up. My routine has gone to the pack.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you are heading for some marvelous country. What about taking a week or so and enjoying it? Sort of time out? Swim in some warm water in the middle of June! Stop and smell the seaweed??
Well let me tell you Jude as i am on the front line here.Morning S.E,.....Midday E.....Afternoon..NE....About the week off,Jude i am on a mission from hell and you want me to turn it into a Club Med,please
DeleteC you still pedalling there Slugger,dont worry if you too far out to make it in until Saturday,give us more time to cook for you!
ReplyDeleteMate,just pick me up:-)
DeleteGrant am I thinking what you are thinking? LOOOOOL. Support whatever decision you make Grant. With you all the way. mm
