Simply cycling around
Today is Japan Day and I’m going to help Yoko in that primary school. These people are raising money to help the people of the unlucky Fukushima area. That’s good. I’ve been reading a lot of news since the accident happened and it definitely still on even if the media ignore it. I’m glad I can participate to an event like this.
Hey, I’m flying this morning to Cairns where I’m going to meet Martin, Yoko and Marco again. I would prefer to be able to cycle there but the way I’m planned my trip makes it hard to come back to Cairns as I will be cycle through the center of Australia, heading to Darwin. Anyway, this is worth it and I’m sure I will enjoy it! I’m coming :-)
I’m really proud of myself for what I’ve done. I’ve struggle a bit at the beginning but the result is great. It’s going to match with my trailer perfectly now :-) Thanks Robin :-)
When Robin finished to decorate my trailer, it looked great. I knew I was going to receive my new brand bike and it could be a good idea to do something for it. I expect it will look less expensive and more hippie. I’m far to be one but I like the style :-) Robin did not have the time to do it but propose me to teach me how to knit. This is a good idea :-) I like learning new stuff so here we go, I’ve started this part four times now because I was making several mistakes. Now, I’ve got the trick. I’m still slow but it’s working well. If I keep going like this every night, my bike’s pullover will be ready in few days or weeks. Let’s work!
This is my old bike and I’m selling it! I had three options : send it back to France which will be expensive. Find someone to cycle with me but it will be hard to find and I’m not sure if this bike is ready for it as I keep my trailer. The final option is to sell it. I need to be lucky because if I don’t find anyone, I will have to change my mind very quickly! It has been a really good machine. The reason I’m changing is simple. This one is a competition bike with 30 speeds. With one chain I can ride around 2500km. I’ve changed it many times already plus I had to change the cassette, the chainrings. Well this is something I will have to take care of a along the way.
The photo is really bad but it’s more for a souvenir. This is Newtown and there is always artist around. There is all kind of music each day, especially at this corner where so many people get out of the train station. I took a video but unfortunately it was just the end of their show… hahaa
Before I left TSM in December, I knew they were going to move to Woolloomooloo. Eveyone had seen the office before and said it was very nice. Today, this is my turn to see it :-) One the left side is Dave (one of the two skinny men) and one the right side Bec :-)
