Today we headed up to George Town and Low Head, the sun was out but the roads in the mountains were very wet, some ripper corners some speed rated at just 15km/h which was fun, but due to the wet road meant we had to take them fairly easy and stick to the rated speeds.

We got just South of Derby and the winds hit us hard side on. From there on it was hard riding due to extremely gusty and strong winds blowing the bikes sideways. I was sitting behind dad on the road and he was having to hold his bike on about a 20° angle to ride straight, all well and good until you hit a gap in the wind and shoot across the other side of the road. Winds gust recorded in excess of 60km/h.

This continued for the rest of our journey through Scottsdale and Bridport all the way to George Town where we stopped at the pub for a scotch and dry to warm up a bit and rest the body.

The arms, hips and back were aching so we headed to the accommodation in Low Head for a rest, grabbed some supplies at the local Woolworths and cooked up some roast vegies and pork.

Tomorrow the forecast of high winds continues when we ride on to Devonport.

Ride On 👊
