Day 1 30th June 2013 Broome to Goldwire Rest Area


Day 1  30 June 2013    Broome to   Goldwire rest area.        157km
 Off to an early start this morning.  Somewhat caotic begining as we all sorted out our belongings, packed then away and worked out which of the many vehicles we were to place our baggage.  Eventually left Broome behind.  Unfortunately as Broome is at the southern end of a short peninsular that juts into the Indian ocean we had to ride north then east for about 60km before we could ride south towards Perth.  This would have been nothing more than a mild inconvenience is it wasn't for a very strong north-easterly blowing all morning.  Hence  the first half of the day was rather difficult, tiring out legs way to early.  Not the best start.   The up side for the day however was that the same north easterly gave us great riding for the afternoon.  The ride was at least   _______f______l_______a___  __t_____ .

I am sitting in my tent at the moment typing this blog  (yes we are camping).  I  don't expect this to be posted for a couple of day as the phone service drops in and out at the moment.  We are in the middle of no-where and tomorrow we travel a another 166km further into the middle of no-where.   Not much to see,  just  endless miles of low scrub.

Dinner was cooked on a wood fired makeshift BBQ in the dark.  Chicken, lamb chops, steak and sausages. Very very nice indeed.  Well done to the guys and girls who cooked.   Like all B4B rided I am not expecting to lose weight.
