Yesterday-Collection Day, today we're away

The four of us were ready and waiting 8.30am for our courtesy bus down to Eaglerider to collect our Wings. Perfect fit. We have a 2009 Silver (matches our silver helmets) Kerry & Bob have black - matching their black hellmets. Clint & Charleen are right with red.

Feels soooo good to be on the bike, and very easy when following a seasoned traveller. Saw some incredible areas, the roads are exactly as we see in pictures & the movies - phenomenal systems, spans, bridges & highways everywhere.

Everyone came back to our room for nightcaps and again - lots of laughs. A super group to be with.

Today - Wednesday - headed off bright and early, right into the traffic which involved an accident or two - blimey, we thought we had it tough!! A few - er - wrong turns (or rather scenic tours) and city became freeways / mountains / scenery. Incredible windy roads, looking up they can be seen for miles, look down and they are winding around and away - fantastic. Really marvelous to experience. Clint lead us down a back road (no lines marked) again the road twisting and turning on itself.

Once out of that area into the flats - and the freeway. Pretty full-on with long long straight stretches of 3-4 lanes of traffic screaming along, they merge to the Right almost instantly after passing - we (Aussies) should take some lessons.

Got to Selma round 3pm, have just finished dinner and will be shortly be heading off to bed. We have to sit out in the lobby as the Internet won't connect in our room. Oh well - luck of the draw I guess.
