Packed and off to
Horsham via Rose's gap. The plan had been to meet Jon there and then
ride back down via the Grampians to the coast. As I was riding
towards Horsham I realised that the smart thing would have been to
meet back at Halls Gap – saving him many kilometres. Fortunately
when I got to Horsham Jon rang and we agreed on the revised
rendezvous. In Horsham I followed the advice of the local Tourist
Information people and had a shower at the aquatic centre – a
necessary after two days on the road and a strenuous bush walk.
Back to Halls Gap via
the more direct route and met up with Jon for lunch at the NP HQ.
We then pressed on
south to the coast, stopping in Port Fairy for coffee. The
temperature dropped 5 degrees over the last couple of km's as we
approached the coast. A chill wind blowing from the south. It still
being early and despite Jon having done a far few km before meeting
up with me – we decide to continue towards Port Campbell on the
GOR.
Passed lots of bikes
returning from Phillip Island and the moto GP. Started to worry that
Accommodating may be tight, so stopped in Peterborough for the night.
Tomorrow we will
complete the GOR and head for Melbourne. A few days earlier than I
had planned, but looking forward to catching up with family.
