Weekends Away. Day 1.

With the new job and it's strange hours it as been hard to ride on a day trip, let alone a weekend away or longer. But insanity has gotten the better of me and I have gotten a chance to churn the pedals.
It is much needed. The soul's restoration has been long overdue.

I have decided to head out from.Bundaberg and check out Goodnight Scrub National Park. It's roughly seventy kilometers west od Bundaberg.

I wanted to make a trip of it so I decided  to leave on a Friday afternoon after work...so a Friday afternoon its is.

I'm sitting here blogging this from my phone at the Bucca Hotel. It is an absolutely unique and authentic country Queensland pub. The men are friendly and the women are as rough as guts...oh and footwear is optional.
But the beer is ice cold, the showers ate hot and clean, and the campground is spacious and lush.

All in all I have to say I feel at home. The staff are great and the chicken kiev was great.

It is a most desirable watering hole for a parched throat after a not too long of a ride from town.

After the 2.00 am start I knew I wasn't going to get much further. I'm pretty knackered and the half dozen beers have helped sleep mode kick in...awww maybe one more...lol.

I haven't ridden much since the attempted trip in January. I do commute every day but that is only five kilometers each way. When the weekends role round I am usually too tired to get up and gp out riding. In a nut shell, I've gotten a little lazy. Who am I kidding, I've gotten a lot lazy.

Anyway, we'll see what tomorrow brings. I am looking forward to it...now for that other beer.

Cheers guys, and ride safe.
