No complaints is a great motto, if not mantra. Thanks for posting! Actually, I remembered a lot of the journal from reading it first time around, and with my bad memory that's saying a lot!
5 years agoG'day to you too, Mike,
Thank you for the message, for the compliment, and most of all, for the very practical idea of using Canadian currency as an emergency tire boot.
If my budget ever allows me to do a bike tour overseas, your country/continent would definitely be my first choice. I love your animals and landscapes, and I also like how the people say "G'day!"

G'day Gregory
I love your writing style.
We have had those plastic bank notes here in Oz for a long time now.
They make great tyre boots to get you home when you get a large hole in your tyre or tire.
We also got rid of our pennies/cents a while back and the smallest coin is now five cents, the same as Canada. However we have enthusiastically embraced EFTPOS so if the bill is $1.04 that is what you are charged. The downside is that charities are noticing that their collecting boxes are getting a lot less coins being donated.
Mike
I had forgotten that you rode the Munger Trail on the way back from your Superior Ride. I just re-read your account of the Duluth-Moose Lake day. Then I had to go ahead re-read the rest of that journal too. Whenever I think of some of the most interesting wildlife encounters I've experienced, that deer falling down on the trail right in front of us always comes to mind.
5 years agoHey, I remember this trail! You’re right, just a bit on the dull side.

Just when I was totally convinced nobody besides me would ever read one of my journals more than once, you came along. And you admitted it publicly. Thank you!
