Central West Cycle Trail OR Preparing for Camino del Norte.

  • If I am going to cycle the Camino del Norte next year, I need to get training, prepare my gear & up my bike camp-touring skills. So, here's an idea! Ride the Central West Cycle Trail or CWCT. A 400k loop east of where my daughter lives, & where I'll be house sitting over a weekend next month. 
  • I could ride out on my motorsickle, Brompton lashed astern, do my duties & ride The Trail on the way back. I'm wondering now whether I could carry cycling & motor touring gear all on one motorbike, but there is some overlap of gear required for either activity & there's plenty of time to get organised. TIP: It could work better if I go ultralight on both. 
  • Here are the legs (tho I can do a bit of corner cutting -_I'm only after experience):-
  • Mudgee to Gulgong: 30km
  • Gulgong to Dunedoo: 58km
  • Dunedoo to Mendooran: 51km
  • Mendooran to Ballimore: 53km
  • Ballimore to (Wongarbon/Geurie) Wellington: 71km
  • Wellington to (Goolma) Gulgong: 81km
Gear List:
Bike, helmet, tools, tube.
Phone, personal gear.
Cycling outfit + spares.
Camp, pad, blanket, cooker, grd sheet, water & food 
Luggage.

Some school days would see me run home from the beach dripping wet, stuff cereal down & jog to school. At lunch break I would grab a bike & get a surf in.  On my twenties i took up sailing. If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
