Wall to Wall Day 7 & 8; 15 - 16 September 2016

Well here we are in Sydney. We arrived last night but were too buggered to write, so here we are now.

Thursday morning started like usual, all riders were out of their hotel rooms, and cleaning their bikes half an hour before we left. Todays clean was really important, cause you can't have a dirty bike whilst riding around Mount Panorama. That's right, we rode around the track. Marica went around once, but Neville, Sandra and Ninja went around twice.




The roads round the track were awesome. The roads for the entire morning and afternoon were absolutely crap. Pot holes, road works, floodways, and constantly changing speed limits the whole time.

We got to Sydney, and all left our bikes at the Sydney Police Complex in Surry Hills, and proceeded to our hotel by bus. The leg to Sydney was the most eventful the whole trip, with 3 riders dropping their bikes, due to the slow speed maneuvers, and traffic chaos.

All went  out for dinner and drinks together, and a walk around Darling Harbour.

Friday morning started with a tour of the Children's Cancer Institute in Randwick, the things they do there are mind blowing, as they are world leaders in Children's Cancer Research. Bright Blue is the Charity set up by the WA police Commissioner to support the CCII, and it is a really worthwile cause.

From here we headed of the Harbour Bridge to do the bridge climb, after being split up into 2 groups, we set of for our climb. All in all today was a great day.

Except for the separation anxiety experienced by all riders, from being apart from their bikes for the first time all week.

An early start tomorrow, so an early night for all tonight.
