Day Four – Coff’s Harbour to Byron Bay
We started the morning with breakfast at V-Twins Harley-Davidson in Coff’s Harbour. We had local NBN Television, and the local paper come out and film/talk with us.
We took the “back way”, along the Summerland Way. A beautiful ride, but a really long and hot day. We were all dreaming of nothing but the beach!!!
We stopped in Ballina for lunch at the local Harley-Davidson, and more shopping. This group has the best collection of H-D Australia T-shirts…
We eventually made it to Byron Bay. Another youth hostel with a great pool and walking distance to the beach. We were greeted by local Dragon’s Abreast members (breast cancer survivor dragon boaters). They put on a great spread of food and champagne, massage for our tired shoulders, and a very warm welcome.
Almost all of us went down to the beach for a drink to celebrate Linda’s 50th birthday!!!!! You go girl! We love you.
Sometimes I feel like I walk through life with my eyes closed. We are very comfortable in our little bubbles, maybe a little too scared to step out of our comfort zones. Does it have to take something like Cancer to make us realise that we have to just grab life by the balls and do something risqué to step out of our comfort zones.
Travelling up the East coast of Australia I seemed to have missed all the hidden little treasures like Buckets way, Shelly Beach at Nambucca Heads, and Grafton in full bloom of Jacaranda’s. Our country is so beautiful. Women have united on this ride, breast cancer survivors young and old, its very overwhelming.
I lead my group of five, with 3 Americans and 2 Aussies, what a great little group. I love my position, I love my responsibility.
There is a great strong bond between us all.
My Harleys pretty great as well. We have been blown away with the generousity of so many people along the way.
Love to my family Dave, Dylan & Liam and mum & Dad. I love you all.
With all my love stay safe and may the wind always blow through your hair.

What a wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday…with special friends…in a beautiful land…on a Harley! But, I miss my family and friends terribly. I miss my mother’s special phone call every year…so, since she can’t call me…Mom, I love you and am so happy that you and Dad had me! My life has been incredible to this point. John, if you are reading this from Spain…I miss you so much.
