As I mentioned on Friday, I won't be doing my usual weigh-in today as I'm travelling for work. I'm going to be in Melbourne for the next few days and will try and post each night from my phone. I'm not sure what I'll post about, maybe I'll take some photos around Melbourne and post about what I saw on my walk or maybe I'll do more more research into going Motocamping. Melbourne is a little far to visit regularly, it takes about 8 hours to get here by car so it would probably take a little longer on a motorbike as you need to take more breaks. Also it's highway all the way so pretty boring. Most people who come down to Melbourne by bike take a scenic route and do it over a couple of days.
There are some great riding roads in the alpine region of Victoria but only in the warmer months, during winter they are often covered in snow and although I like an adventure, riding in snow isn't really for me. Maybe one day I'll give it a go, but for now I'll stay away.
One of the roads that I'd like to ride one day is the Great Ocean Road, it's 243kms of winding road along the south coast of Victoria. The views are meant to be amazing but the road and rest spots can be really busy with tourists. Maybe one day I can make it a goal to do but it would take some planning as I'd need to get there and get back again, which would make it something like a 2,100km round trip to take the scenic route or 1,900km going the most direct route. Either way, I'd want to do it over several days and seeing as there is only a couple of hundred kms between the scenic and the most direct route I'd go the long way.

I'll put it on the bucket list.
