31/12/2014 - written by Dave 76k - Bylong to Denman Before today's blog, I'm going to post some photos I took last night after Nancy finished up her post.  The light around the valley and in particular the Bylong Church was too good not to share.  Nancy did dishes while I snapped the shots below … Continue reading Along the Bylong Valley Way – Bylong to Denman

30/12/2014 - written by Nancy (posted on 31/12) 82k - Mudgee to Bylong We had a bit of fun last night in the cabin - well, it seems funny now, but I am not sure it was so funny at the time.  Having a TV on keeps us up late (relative to camping in the … Continue reading Mudgee to Bylong – tailwind joy and a dirt road

29/12/2014 - written by Dave 0k - Mudgee to Mudgee One of the reasons we did this trip out through the NSW Central West was to spend some time in small town Australia.  Having moved to Australia in 1999, we've always said that Australia reminded us of the US some 20 years ago.  Well, that … Continue reading Mudgee rest day

28/12/2014 - written by Dave 93k - Wellington to Mudgee (65k into a head wind) Starting today with a photo I took last night after we posted.  The Riverside Caravan Park is a great setting.  The owners are selling up after 12 years.  The camp is in need of a spruce up but new owners … Continue reading Headwinds – Wellington to Mudgee

27/12/2014 - written by Nancy 105 k - Orange to Wellington (no, not the one in NZ, the other one) Cool temps overnight with some wind meant we woke up after a good night's sleep to a dry tent and tarp.  It was still cool and windy in the morning, so we hustled around to … Continue reading Due North in the Wind – Orange to Wellington

26/12/2014 - written by Nancy 66 k - Bathurst to Orange There was only one other tent in the tent area last night so it was very quiet - just what the body needed after that day.  And, even better, after all that rain last night we again woke up to clear skies and sunshine.  … Continue reading Into Australia’s Food Basket – Bathurst to Orange

24/12/2014 - written by Dave 90 k - Blackheath to Bathurst Last night's fog turned into a fantastic clear sky this morning.  We slept ok, typical first night in the tent restlessness.  I gave up on sleeping at 6AM and to my surprise, when I got out of the tent there was nothing but blue … Continue reading A day of many seasons – Blackheath to Bathurst

24/12/2014 - written by Dave 1 Mile - St Leonards to Blackheath Merry Christmas everyone, from Blackheath, NSW, Australia.  We are shattered.  We rode our bikes today a grand total of 1 mile.  Or at least I think we rode 1 mile.  My computer decided to stop working just as we started.  I tested it … Continue reading Merry Xmas from the Blue Mountains

After taking only short one or two-day trips in 2013 and most of 2014, we are finally taking a proper week-long tour before 2014 disappears over the horizon.  We are leaving Xmas Eve for the Blue Mountains, heading out as far west as Orange (wine region), then on to Mudgee (wine region) and finally over … Continue reading Our new Co-Motion bikes finally getting a proper test.
