A while ago, I added two modifications to my bike, LED lights that Nicky gave me, and a cigarette lighter socket so I could keep gadgets charged. I left my bike on the street overnight a week before I left Sydney, when it broke down, and someone ripped out the wiring I had added, possibly trying to hotwire it with any loose wires they found. The night before I left, I made a new harness and fitted that to the bike, but on the ride up from Sydney it broke, rendering both of the systems inoperable. Today, I solder together the connections that aren't quite working, getting my systems back online. Then I head out from Samford to Mount Glorious and around through Kilcoy and Mount Pleasant, along this route:
I noticed the bike rack seemed to be vibrating a lot without the bag on it, but as I hadn't ridden without the bag on the rack before, figured it was normal.
The ride had some great bends and curves, and the scenery was beautiful, changing from rainforest to rolling hills to lakeside forests. As it was Sunday there were a fair few cars, all crawling at walking pace through the curves, I overtake those I can, or pull over and wait until they get a few minutes ahead of me, when I cannot.
