Two to Go!

No one in the crew had problems being awake at 6am, having had trains and trucks remind us that it is business as usual at all hours of the day and night! The only thing missing for Kristy was the blaring sounds of the police and ambulances which she has become immune to along Commercial Road in London! We may also have been 'slightly' under the influence of Lisa and Dave’s recommendation of the local BP’s bacon and egg burgers for breakfast!

With a burger in his belly, Brad was keen to get today’s kilometres underway. Mitch, Dave and Lisa’s son, was keen to go for a ride with Brad so he joined the official party at the end of his street! Brought back beautiful memories of Brad and I’m sure likewise for Sue and Ken of Mitch, at a similar age riding their first bikes with trainer wheels! Sorry Brad, red flags for the rear of your bike were not an accessory in those days. Thank you O’Neill’s you made our visit to Merredin even more memorable.

We are becoming very familiar with foggy starts to the day and today was no different. At 9:30 Brad was still riding through a heavy fog! I’m sure Brad would much rather ride through fog than heavy rain! Our CEO’s could not have done a better job in controlling the weather conditions for the entire ride. People we have spoken to along the way have told us about the terrible rain/storms they have driven through on previous days but none has reached us!

People often speak about 'signs' and several we saw today were quite pertinent. The

Merredin Shire are on to it!

people of Merredin were certainly aware of MOAM coming  by naming a road 'Mission' not far out of town. Later in the day another sign read, 'Leeming' obviously pointing us in the right direction for tomorrow!

With the day's ride complete, the team are very much looking forward to meeting up with Gracie, Tom, Verne  and Clay for a dinner at the Northam Hotel. 

I doubt if there will be any need for any alarms to be set tonight as tomorrow the boys bring the ride home!
