‘Twas the eve of the expedition and the meticulous planning and training for the great event was now over. It was time to meet up with the other athletes to go over the fine detail and get ‘in the zone’ for the start of the epic crusade that would commence at first light the next day.
It was obvious to anyone when we met that we were at our peak
fitness and ready for the challenge but to take on a few extra carbs at this stage wouldn’t do us any harm so the venue for the team pre-brief was the small but plentiful, Sulwath Brewery only an hour
or so from the main ferry terminal and a couple of hours hike away
from our digs for the night at the comfortable residence of ‘Casa Di Pongo’.

With the calorific balance now finely tuned it would be downhill from here, then up hill, then a flat bit for a mile or two and then....well you get the idea, it’s a bike ride, ok....
The blog title comes from the 1976 Thin Lizzy classic featuring the late bluesy guitarist ‘Gary Moore’ who hailed from our next destination, Belfast and died in Spain. Effortless performance here live in Sydney for Phil Lynott and the boys...fantastic!
