Batemans Bay

A little bit of Turner’s light. Magical in real life.

Very tired today. Had a fabulous night, fairly heavy rain – I was pleased to have put the ebike back in storage late yesterday anticipating rain.

Driving in early pre-light to the Bay, oats there, and scrubbed the Giant Elwood SE, the new 2nd hand traditional bike, with Gorilla oil or whatever that stuff is. Chain was a rusted mess. Gave it all a workout as a starter. Short ride: it’s not sensational like the ebike but it’s going to have to do.

No mail, then for a hot shower, two days consecutively. Too tired to really enjoy it, but appreciated it.

Service NSW told me my Fitness to Drive tests could be submitted up to six months prior to the due date, which they reckon is around peoples’ birthday. Strange to hear it referring to me.

Then to Corrigans to dry out the bike tarps and fill up with fresh water. Realised I couldn’t drive far. So to the rest area and crashed immediately.
