I sputtered and objected but they insisted that I should have the most comfortable bed in the house after camping out for almost four months. And I must say that I slept like a log last night. It was also blissfully quiet after two weeks of caravan parks that are often located right beside busy roads.<\/p>\n<p>Around noon today I met up with Col and Carrol, the couple from Perth who I met in Armidale for the first time and have now seen again twice since. They are staying at the showgrounds and they went for a tour at the Australian Institute of Sports, or AIS. We met there at the AIS Cafe there and caught up on each other&#8217;s news. A nice visit, as they have been each and every time. I rode there via the extensive pathway system, partially the same way as I came in yesterday. So going back home afterwards I had chosen a slightly different route but somehow got on the wrong side of a road, which meant I followed the same path back again. Got to pay attention to the directions better next time!<\/p>\n<p>I also did my laundry today, only the second time in a real washing machine, the first time being in Murphy&#8217;s Creek at Lynne&#8217;s place. I have been hand washing and rinsing almost daily, but it was due time for a more thorough job.<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm and I are going to do an overnighter ride, probably to Gundaroo and back. There is a nice cafe, a pub, and a good pizza place as well, I&#8217;m told. Not sure yet if we&#8217;re heading out tomorrow or Sunday because the weather forecast was a bit iffy for tomorrow. We&#8217;ll see. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll fill in our time appropriately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/robertosgelato.com\/robnbob\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190307_171426728760884353540218.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1979 alignnone size-full\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"http:\/\/robertosgelato.com\/robnbob\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190307_171426728760884353540218.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/robertosgelato.com\/robnbob\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190307_171426728760884353540218-150x113.jpg 150w, http:\/\/robertosgelato.com\/robnbob\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190307_171426728760884353540218-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/robertosgelato.com\/robnbob\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190307_171426728760884353540218-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/robertosgelato.com\/robnbob\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190307_171426728760884353540218-528x396.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Son Kenny with his newest proto type electric skate board.
