So I'm almost two weeks into my second mid life crisis on a budget and I've only been on the KLR for twos days. Time for some riding! I got back into Sydney around 10am and headed straight back to Pott's Point to pick up the bike. She'd survived a week parked on the means streets of Sydney but it's no place for an adventure tourer.
Victoria's parents Maria and Peter live a couple of hours drive south of Sydney in Jamberoo and they insisted I stroll down with the Victoria and Wazza and spend the night down there before heading south. It actually worked out well considering how tired I was and the ride tuned out to be epic. After following Wazza and Victoria's swanky Volvo SUV through the city I peeled off to explore the Royal National Park. Perfect day for a ride and because it was mid week pretty quiet. Great road for a ride to, twisty, turny and great views between the bush and the beaches.

And then over the last hill there was the elevated highway!

A really great ride even though it only lasted a couple of hours. Really laid back riding even with a fully loaded bike. I turned inland just north of Wollongong and headed for Jamberoo swapping the bush and beaches for rolling hills and farmland. I managed to pull into the Rose's homestead just in time for afternoon drinks.
