overwhelmed , proud , content , centred and the best felling of all was genuine happiness .
It took a little while to get started the following day . I was lacking motivation and bumbled around camp before slowly making my way back on to the bike . It was tough to get back to the same level as the day before . Once on the bike though I found a nice little loop around the Snowy River Way and back to Jindabyne for some lunch . I was not very motivated along the way but rolled over some pretty wide-open lands which started to pick my spirits up a notch .
After a bite to eat back at Jindabyne I decided to head back out to the Kosciuszko National Park so I could pick up a sticker for the bike . After the Flinders Ranges trip earlier this year a sticker section has started on the bike to remember each trip . This trip now has its own dedicated spot-on Kramer .
My mojo returned as I rode the Alpine Way to Thredbo . This road and scenery along the way was pretty damn spectacular with kilometre after kilometre of twisty and winding roads . While Kramer was not specifically built for this type of riding it is still bloody good fun , nonetheless .
After what started out as a bit of a ‘ meh ’ morning ended up with some pretty amazing riding and I was thankful that I ’ d dragged my butt out . It had been a special time that provided memories that will last forever .
I left Jindabyne feeling up , feeling down , sideways and every which way . My target was to reach the Wombeyan Caves , some almost five hours away , but upon arrival I decided just to take time out and relax in the creek with a few drinks . The caves could wait until tomorrow .
Relaxing in the creek I was joined by some amazing animals , a goanna , kangaroos , and amazing bird life .
