I couldn't find a jealous emoji but I am - very jealous!

But, as has said before, we don't have roos, drop bears, earthquakes, hurricanes, year-long droughts, poisonous snakes and bush fires to contend with here in SW UK.....

There was no time to avoid it, it came up so quick & I saw the gap was less on the right so to the right it was. Other issues were should I stop could I touch the sleeper, would I fall over & off the bridge but of course at the time it was oh bugger !!!!

Last & only time I rode this section was back in early 2007 & after 4 rail bridges I was a nervous wreck, I guess we were lucky as all four of the riders on this loop were good riders otherwise it could have nasty if someone had an panic attack & braked.

Even if it's raining in the city it's dry up where we were riding, did around 220kms with very little blacktop, 7 kms from my place to the dirt so all good.

LOL, plenty of roos to contend with but as long as you have a clear run it's ok, they tend to hide behind trees & bushes, I hit a baby brown snake two weeks ago but no big deal. It is pretty dry out there & we have a week of 38-42c coming up but all in all we are lucky having the room & open spaces.

We're off to the Victorian High country again in mid March & got to do a little more work on the WRR (close to 16000kms) will put rego on the TTR & take it out on a few loops along the railway line.

Cheers Terry

I know what you mean, Brian.

We could do with a few old, redundant railway tracks to trail in Devon.

How about one of these emojis to use:-

or even this ......

Well if any of you guys come to Australia & South Australia you are welcome to come out for a ride, I even have a TTR you can ride & see my backyard of summer tracks, old railway tracks & dirt roads....200-250kms without a single traffic light, fresh air & sunshine
