| Journal: | Dave arrived in Bowen, about 2040km completed. More dramas with the bike (the first being a snapped gear cable, then a bearing went in the rear wheel, requiring a wheel replacement), and now the latest being a ruptured tyre wall requiring changing in Sarina last night. No motel rooms free either, so after changing the tyre and tube, he had to continue on to Mackay, where he didn't end up getting to bed until about 11pm. It was a fast 35km from Sarina to Mackay, but a few party revellers on the road yelling out to him along the way during the night. So a later start today, at 5am, and reduced mileage will see him about half a day behind schedule. Voice recorder has also failed, so a few podcasts were thought to have been made...but were sadly not recorded. Dave will possibly stop in Cairns for a new one. |
