My bike was playing up and in some gears it was clicking like mad, I couldn't work out was going on and didn't really have a way to go through all the gears and try and adjust them. I soildered on sticking to the few gears that didn't make a worrying sound.

I turned off to Merimbula and as I got into the seaside town my front break cable snapped. I sat on the waterfront and looked to see if there was a bike shop here. Looks like there is and probably the last one for a long time however it's Sunday so it's shut. Probably a sign to book into motel and get my bike tuned up, get some new break cables and maybe a new back tyre and chainlube.

I checked into a cheap motel and stripped my bike ready to take it to the shop, first thing tomorrow. I was near the airport and planes occasional landed or took off they were so close you felt you could almost touch them.

I didn't realise Merimbula was so big, a lovely coastal town, with oyster farms. Obviously also a holiday location and the place was packed, it's strange how these towns appear out of nowhere from the forest.
