The River crossing is fine. Mark Muir rode Seffie in today no worries.

So it's a 9 inch then.
Well I tried. For the last few weeks I've been getting dizzy spells. Am seeing a cardiologist etc, had a holster heart monitor on for a few days, no idea what is wrong yet, had been feeling pretty good this week so sorted out Argy, even new tyres on it yesterday which completely fixed the steering issues, really enjoyed it till I started out this morning, started getting dizzy again about Loganholme so pulled over rested for 15 mins, tried again but no good. Turned around and headed home the back way so I could stop a few times. Not happy Jan! And the bike is going sooooo well.

Bummer Mr D, hope you're ok.
Thanks mighty mouse, was really looking forward to it, haven't ridden much for a while. Doctor has organised my echocardiogram to be brought forward to tomorrow morning. When I'm having the worse dizzy spells I'm missing every 4th heartbeat. A bit weird. Any way have fun you all!

Sorry to hear about your health issues Drikko. Just another issue to deal with as we get older. I hope you can get to the bottom of what's causing your dizzy spells and get it sorted ASAP. Sounds like you need a pacemaker. Perhaps you could have run a cable from one of your spark plug leads and taped it to your chest.
I've been feeling crook most of the week. Got an abscess behind one of my molars (bloody painful). Been on two different antibiotics for a week and I dunno what's worse, the ailment or the cure. The bloody tablets are messing up my gut and giving me diarrhoea. FFS.

It was drained, and it wasn't a pleasant process I can tell you. I just thought it best not to go into gruesome detail about the copious quantities of blood and pus that was hoovered out of my mouth.
I presume the antibiotics, (amoxycillin/clavulanic acid, and metronidazole) are to mop up any residual infection.
Yep.
Met up with the Vic mob who seemed to have lost a couple of punters on the way
Now at Walcha
Plenty of rain but still not as bad as advertised
Lucky for Maurice duct tape and cable ties were in plentiful supply
Here are a few pics

Too bad to hear about lost punters! On my 3c the frame for the instruments (is that Mo's?) also broke on the Alpine tour, nothing to worry about.
I wish you a safe journey, not to bad weather and above all, have fun!

Holed up in Armidale, short run down waterfall way tmorra to join in the festivities at Bello
Great to catch up with the tribe from NSW and ACT. Road surfaces have been atrocious……and rattled all the fillings loose, along with various parts on the bikes! Duct tape and zip ties the order of the day
Couple of shots of The Vic Posse

Yep, only made it the 400km to Ouyen in Western Vic where the Mirage crapped out with a dead battery: not taking a charge and still not charging. Bought another battery and turning back for Adelaide: I theory I could’ve made Bello though not without a lot of night riding which the battery wouldn’t support…

Would have loved to be able to make the trip across the Hay Plaines again but I'm afraid age and other circumstances have put an end to my long-distance meanderings.
Have fun!
