Practice Ride Two - Botany Bay

It was a beautiful sunny day for our second practice ride out to Botany Bay. Everyone continues to ride well in formation, and we’ve had no problems at all on the road. People are getting used to their bikes and are ready for the official start tomorrow.

We took our lunch with us and ate on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, watching the sailboats and dolphins. The water was the most unique color of blue. Stunning spot, especially with 19 bikes lined up!!

We had our first gas stop on the way back, along with our first dropped bike. No serious damage to bike or rider, and we are relieved to have that out of our system. After parking in the garage, the bikes got a wash and the vans were decorated in preparation for Day One of the ride.

It rained a bit in the afternoon, but cleared in time for a group dinner on the beach. The same spot where the Americans had their welcome breakfast 5 days ago. It is definitely time to hit to road.



Rider Comments

Well, finally some sun. Woke up this morning to a perfect day. Had a beautiful ride out to Botany Bay. Saw where Captain Cook discovered Australia.
Also saw dolphins out in the ocean.
Coogee Bay is beautiful but I’m absolutely ready to get on my bike and move on up the coast .
Can’t wait until tomorrow.
Cassara, I love you peanut princess and I’m so sorry that while Grammies was gone they put you in the Chile pepper garden.

Look Out Newcastle here we come. Greta Smith a local Novocastrian is putting in the hard yards and representing the people of Newcastle. Come down and support Greta on her trek to make people aware breast cancer can occur in any women not just women over 50.

See U all tomorrow

It was my second day on a Harley today. 100kms on the M2, and some lovely ‘twisties’ into Botany Bay. I think I’m gonna be okay. All the girls are antsy to roll tomorrow. I am really getting into the whole Bike Gang mentality. I am shooting lots of peace signs, and feeling pretty smooth. I am at the front of the line, behind Meredith, so I have to turn around at stops to see the other 18 bikes. What a vision. Australia is obviously a unique and gorgeous country that could be explored endlessly. Lastly, I miss my family. So much to share when I return. Be well, my little man and butterfly. Be well sweetsum kitten. Thank you, my mate!

I must have crossed the Harbour Bridge more than 500 times, but riding a Harley in formation with 18 beautiful women who have suffered, and on a rainy day has to be a highlight of my life. Such a high.
