Today Charleen and I had the day together, the only thing needing to be done was to get her back to Adelaide to catch her flight first thing tomorrow morning.
We left fairly early and made our way down the Main North Road that runs on the eastern side of the southern Flinders Ranges. Hwy1 runs up the west side and that was the way we took yesterday. This was to be much more leisurely.
After about 50km we found a breakfast spot at Stone Hut where we had lovely omelettes and coffee. A really nice spot.
Ahh - morning coffee
Getting fuel I decided to check the rear tyre pressure and sure enough while I was on the ground beside the bike, three FarRiders turned up and offered help with whatever was the problem. No problem, the pressure was perfect. Only thing is the Metzler is beginning to square off after 6000km or so on mostly straight roads.
They headed off on their way and we continued to travel south through Clare then pushed further south to the Barossa Valley where we stopped for a light lunch at Angaston.
Then it was down in to Adelaide through Birdwood and some nice twisty roads through the Adelaide Hills. This helped to use some of the side of the tyres for a change.
Punting through the Hills
One fat-bottomed V-MaxThrough the city, we found our airport motel and settled in. FarRiders Phil and Kate were also passing through so stopped in for coffee and a chat. Great to catch up with them again.
Tomorrow morning Charleen flies home and I head that way on the Wing.
