Crazy mad conditions to be doing a ride like that

But yeah, just to hot. We got in to Bright at about 12 and it kept getting hotter after that. Can't believe they let the ride keep going.

Hard luck not being able to finish the bugger off, but it's bitten you, eh? Book your accommodation early!

But yeah, I just don't like failing. Going to keep going till I get it.
BTW, Mt Buffalo Chalets aren't all they're made out to be. Stunningly beautiful spot. Rooms you wouldn't pay more than $20 for. We should have got your accomodation off you.
BTW, what's with Victorians and the English language? We've never had so much trouble communication with other english speaking people in our lives? Bloody bizzare.

Nah, I'm glad I gave it a go. Gives me more incentive to become a better rider now.

Excellent....I got a fantastic New Year's Eve "present" from a local girl who worked at the Cosy Kangaroo Coffee Shop on the banks of that waterhole on a training camp one year.

up here Victorians are commonly referred to as Mexicans, making Expat's 'green eggs and ham' quote funny in the extreme (for anyone north of the border that is!)
But if you're from down that way, don't feel bad. Ppls from Cane Toad Country often refer to us as Mexicans too.
