Comment:- Finished my diary then went to bed about 10 pm. Very comfy and had a good nights sleep. I got up about 7.30 am and made breakfast. Packed up my gear and started to load my bike when Peter and Sally came along on their bikes and we had another chat.
I finally got on the road by 9.30 am, rode through the small town of Lavers Hill to the turn off to the Great Ocean Road and headed for Apollo Bay.
Beautiful cloudy morning, no wind, no rain, and the road generally downhill. Passed through Glenaire about 13 km out. Nothing there. Stopped at the Castle Cove Lookout and took a couple of photos of the rugged coast line.
Quite a few motor bikes on the road yesterday as well as today. I presume they are all returning from Philip Island Grande Prix.
Stopped on the side of the road for my break about 25 km out at 11.30 am. Back on the road and enjoyed the nice downhill run into Apollo Bay. Decided to stop at the caravan park at Marengo and glad I did. it’s a very nice little park on the coast and a good camp kitchen.
A quick trip into the supermarket to pick up something for tea, back to the park, had a shower then into the camp kitchen to do my diary.
Tomorrow I will go to Lorne a distance of 45 km
Well Geoff the adventure is almost over. Well done I am sure you are proud of your achievement. I would have liked to ride into Geelong with you, but will not be able to make it, so........next time when you complete the clockwise journey I will be there.
