Well it certainly rained on the ride up - heavily along the F3 to Newcastle and then drizzly for the remainder. Had a great breakfast stop near Hexham/Raymond Terrace at a pie shop. Good food and service and most importantly coffee!
Cannot believe the lack of road upgrade progress in the 18 months since we were last on this road -the only actual new bit of road is north of Ballina. Not sure of the politics involved but if they spent as much on the road building as they have on speed cameras, average-speed cameras, highway patrol cars etc, then the road would have been finished years back. Between Grafton and Ballina is like a police state!
Bike ran well averaged about 23km/l. We did 895km in 11 hours 20mins including stops etc.
