Garry McGivern’s bike-ride to Australia Friday 27th-April-2012 Sydney to Gosford. 48 miles. I’ve left Sydney and am back on the road. Although I didn’t leave until after lunch. I needed to go back into the city to pick up some bits I couldn’t get yesterday. A huge thanks to Jenny and Noel for putting me up, and thanks to Jenny for being my tour guide.
Once I’d managed to get out of the city, I found myself on the old Pacific Highway, which twisted and turned its way through the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. It was an enjoyable ride, although I couldn’t appreciate it too much towards the end, as it got dark. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been indoors and not on the road for the past few days. But it seemed to get dark every so early tonight. Maybe it’s a sign that the Australian winter is on its way! Best leave soon then!
I had a bit of trouble finding somewhere to stop tonight. You’d think it would be easier. After all, it’s not as if hotels/motels don’t have illuminated signs! Despite the street lights, it always surprises me how much harder it is to find somewhere in the dark. Not a huge amount of miles covered today, but then that was down to my late start. But after a few days off, it’s good to break yourself in gently!
