Tuesday Run

[Cormanus]

I managed a 200 km ride on Tuesday, north and west to a country town called Kilkivan. Nothing important happens there; it was somewhere to go and I was interested in the ride home via Widgee where I'd not been. It was a much more enjoyable bike trip through there to Gympie than the more northerly route I took to get there.

For Australian readers, or students of modern Australian politics, Kilkivan is on the way to Kingaroy, home the infamous Johannes Bjelke Petersen long-term Premier of Queensland.

As discussed in other threads, it is very, very dry out this way. We need rain. Even riding a clean bike with a camera hanging Ferret-like around my neck didn't do the trick.

There's a map [url=https://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?msid=201247423130042081552.0004f18efe995617b7d73&msa=0&ll=-26.045062,152.558212&spn=0.553373,1.056747]here. I tried to get the outbound and inbound routes to display in different colours.
