Excellent day adventure.
What else do you do on a 'day off' but take a gentle ride to Newcastle. Not quite from Sydney. From Patonga. Why Patonga? See tomorrow Tracey and I do another adventure. A section of the great North Walk. Wondabyn to Patonga. So instead of catching bus and train back., we Jump in the car after the hike. That's if It's still there.
Had map printed out. Just needed to look at it more regularly. Met a fellow rider, so tagged with Paul for coffee at Terrigal. Sweet.
Terrigal to The Entrance ok. Then took wrong turn. Taking long way round Brisbane waters and Lake Macquarie. So +/-20k more with few hills. Didn't follow the coast line as planned.
Steak n potato pie and coke in Swansea. Man tasted too good.
Highlight was the thorn? Track. Reclaimed rail trail approx 20k to Newcastle. Excellent. Through bush. Through train tunnel. A fine ride.
Fish n chips on Newcastle waterfront . Train home.
More fun tomorrow.
