Just stirrin' ... it is that time of year where I never really know what day it is.

While the Boss was at work and the outlaws in sleepy-mode ... I headed into the 'big smoke' to see may family for a little bit. Just made sense to take the Old Road ... down mid-afternoon, back up on dusk. Hardly anyone about as evidenced by the leaf litter on the road (nothing bad, just highly unusual).

Its the GoPro HD camera. They are about $400+ here or about $260 delivered from the US.
I noticed on looking back at it then its a little white (less contrast or whatever it is) im not sure if i did something accidently in the editing proggy

  I was getting the jitters today also but didn't see your post till late. . . I love the Bellsline rd, riding thru a rugged bit of the Blue Mountains, an alway's bring's back memories of some crazy rides to Bathurst Easter races, . .however I digress.
  Tomorrow, to see out 2010 I'm going to ride to Bundeena for lunch, down thru the RNP, hang out at Otford lookout for a bit, Scarborough Pub for a beer, maybe Mac Pass, maybe not, gotta be at Brighton Le Sands around 5 ish. Any one interested in some or all of this ride ? Plans very loose and adaptable.  Cheers and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
