Day 0, Wed 13th Feb. Hampton to East Brunswick

Day 0

Wednesday 13th Feb

Hampton to east Brunswick

30.97 Kms

 

And We’re Away!

This tour is actually kicking off! First things first, Harv and I unpacked everything we had previously packed and repacked it all just to be sure we had everything we intended to take on the trip. Clothes, cooking gear, camping gear, food, bike repair, maps, diaries, you name it. And of course I packed my guitar.

This was the first day of the tour, but we call it day 0 because we don’t actually leave Melbourne yet. With everything packed up, and a few last minute adjustments to the bikes we headed off to the East Brunswick Club, Lygon St in East Brunswick to play the first show of the tour, and have a bit of a going away get together.

It was strange to finally sit on the bike with everything packed and ride into Melbourne city. It didn’t feel realistic at al that we were actually on our way to attempting a cyclng trip around Aus.

Heaps of our Family, Friends, and lots of other crew showed up to the show and it was a great send off. Good to see everyone one more time before taking off.

A huge thanks to Bez for letting us crash at her house that night, and to Luke Foran and Jeroen for playing at the gig also.

After some late night snacks, it was off to bed at 2am.
