Meet, Greet and a wheel dip

Thursday night brings around the annual IndiPac Meet and Greet dinner. A really good attendance with a couple of cleansing ales, catching up with old and new riders, sharing tales of rides past and what to expect "out there"  

Bathers Beach House in Fremantle being the place to be. "Daisy the Bar guy" looking after us all. Dinner was of the usual high standard. 

On a side note,  today brought quite a bit of rain to the West, it's been very dry here. A couple of thunderstorms rolling through during the day being a welcome change. 

The night finishing up by 9.30pm. 

Another ritual for those attempting to ride across Australia, is to dip the rear wheel of the bike into the Indian Ocean, signalling the beginning of a Trans-Continental ride. 

Tomorrow brings the start...tonight's entertainment is trying to pack all the necessary stuff for a couple of days bike touring. I'm out of practice 😪 

So much "stuff"...  I think I've gone overboard 🤔.  Surely it'll fit? 

Hmm, it's a very tight squeeze but I  think it'll work. 

I think I've got it. 👍🏻
