<\/p>\nIt\u2019s finally here! Wahoo! The 8th annual Australia Day Ride.<\/p>\n
This year we started off with a pack of 13\u00a0riders\u00a0and kicked off early from Melbourne with the final night destination being Port McDonnell on the coast of SA.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a 560km, 7:30 hr ride by Google Maps, pretty much directly along the Great Ocean Road following the coast all the way through.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The day really started at Geelong picking up the last two entrants \u2013 it was pretty cold and a bit drizzly, but we curved our way around the back of Colac and through The Otways which is just spectacular\u00a0riding\u00a0and scenery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever ridden The Spurs in Victoria before it\u2019s a bit like that only when you finish you pop up out on top of the coastline at Apollo Bay, the views made all the cold bits worth it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We stopped in at Portland for a traditional Parma lunch which hit the spot before heading off to our first nights destination, Port McDonnell.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not a lot to say about the days ride other than man the Multistrada was made for this schizzle. It pulls like a freight train! There were a couple of naughty bits where I held it WOT, and man the thing hooks in a straight line, let\u2019s just say that top speeds exceed numbers easily that start with a 2.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a bloody amazing\u00a0bike. Bit of a walk along the beach to stretch the legs and I saw this flap catching the sunlight and thought it was appropriate given note to end on, hey it is Australia Day tomorrow after all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Signing out from the road until tomorrow night people, stay upright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
