Anticipation of the road

I'm heading to Canberra this afternoon. Nothing special, just a straight burn down the Hume Highway.

But jeez I'm looking forward to it.

I rode my motorbike yesterday after a 5-day break from riding (for no particular reason - it's cheaper to get a lift if I can), and even though it was just around the dull streets of traffic-choked Sydney, it was so liberating.

Packing the bike this morning, strapping on my new sheepskin seat cover, pulling on the boots... Its exciting. And even though the ride down promises to be a boring, long stretch of straight roads, I can't wait just to get out there.

It's a great feeling.
