Sydney to Coffs for OCF: October 2011
http://sydney2coffs.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 October 2011. DAY 7 - THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS. G'day from the Party Van. It's 1.00pm and we're on the road home, rocking out to 80s music. Now this is the way to travel. Sure beats a sore bum and a bike saddle I have to say. Anyway probably good for me to go back to the start of yesterday morning and fill you in on the news from then til now. Check out the boys as they ride past me, I'd guess I was doing 50 - 55kph at the time. It's the Eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of the fight." ...

Sydney to Coffs for OCF: DAY 6 - AN UP AND DOWN DAY
http://sydney2coffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-6-up-and-down-day.html
Saturday, 29 October 2011. DAY 6 - AN UP AND DOWN DAY. I was able to respond to several emails, listen to some phone messages, make a few work phone calls, record some great footage and post to Twitter all without getting off the bike. Who says men can't multitask? Let me tell you, the 'Fusspots' Cafe make sensational burgers and most of the boys devoured one for lunch. Now where was I? View from my Balcony. Oops almost forgot the road kill. One Kangaroo (Right at he start of the day. We were riding ...

Sydney to Coffs for OCF: DAY 1 AND 2 - ROLLED INTO ONE
http://sydney2coffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-1-and-2-rolled-into-one.html
Monday, 24 October 2011. DAY 1 AND 2 - ROLLED INTO ONE. That's right you heard it 8pm! Matty Lees was one of the many following the map of our journey and he sent me a text upon arrival at Putty with the words "It must be a day one thing! Last year we rolled into Goulburn at 8pm as well due the late start at church at the 40km of dirt road we were forced to endure. I'm famous, I've made the big time. Yeah baby! Anyway back to the story. As I said above, myself and four other intrepid explorers arrived at...

Sydney to Coffs for OCF: DAY 5 - PERIPHERALS ETC.
http://sydney2coffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-5-peripherals-etc.html
Thursday, 27 October 2011. DAY 5 - PERIPHERALS ETC. Hey everyone. Today was one of those cathartic days. After the killer day yesterday we enjoyed our lazy 66km sojourn from Walcha to Armidale. There's not as much to tell you about the ride today as it was so short so I'll also try to fill you in on some peripherals as well. Psyche yourself to get your weary backside out of bed. (20 min). Prepare your clothes and lay them all out on the bed (10 min). Hot shower and stretch (15 min). Get dressed (5 min).

Sydney to Coffs for OCF: DAY 4 - MOVE OVER BEAR GRYLLS. MAKE WAY FOR CYCLIST VS WILD
http://sydney2coffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-4-move-over-bear-grylls-make-way.html
Thursday, 27 October 2011. DAY 4 - MOVE OVER BEAR GRYLLS. MAKE WAY FOR CYCLIST VS WILD. Hey there. Greetings from the New England 'otel at Walcha. Kenn tells me that it's pronounced 'wolka'. I've just been blessed to be able to satisfy my craving from yesterday for fried rice as I pigged out on one of the nicest Chinese banquets I've ever had the pleasure on devouring. Kings prawns in nearly every dish. Not sure if it was just because of how hungry I was though. Anyway where was I? For those worried wive...

Sydney to Coffs for OCF: DAY 3 - ONLY THE FOOTHILLS FOR DAY 4. ARGHH!
http://sydney2coffs.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-3-only-foothills-for-day-4.html
Wednesday, 26 October 2011. DAY 3 - ONLY THE FOOTHILLS FOR DAY 4. ARGHH! Well I've arrived. At long last. What a day! Today I spent over 9 hours in the saddle and covered about 169km. Our sheet told us we were suppose to do 158 but at least four of us using GPS navigation came in with 169. Did you get that? Can you believe that? I said it last night, I'll say it again, Jerk! The view across the valley and up Bingleburra Mountain. And there doesn't appear to be much of a space for a breather either. I...

Thursday, 13 October 2011. 10 9 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. SORE BUM HERE I COME. Well, it's just ten days until myself and a bunch of fellow MAMILs (Middle Aged Men in Lycra) set off on our seven day bicycle journey to Coffs Harbour. OK so I realise that some of the boys will take offence to me calling them middle aged but that's just because they're living in denial. Our journey will see us traverse. The Hunter Valley and not too. The Hunter Valley, this is not one of those. You need to say it with Sebasti...
