Kas, #IPWR järjestetään tänäkin vuonna. Minä arvelin, että viime vuotinen olisi ollut vika, kun siellä tuntuu jäävän porukkaa auton alle osallistujamäärään nähden aivan liikaa. Australialainen liikennekulttuuri ei varsinaisesti innostaisi itseäni osallistulaan.

Cyclist killed and another injured in separate incidents in Indian Pacific Wheel Race | Western Australia | The Guardian

Devastating to read that one cyclist has been killed and another injured today on the IndiPac. It seems that both drivers hit and run. Gah, what an awful day. I hope the drivers turn themselves in soon, and that the families may get some clarity around what has happened.

The Indian Pacific Wheel Ride kicks off tomorrow, an ultra endurance "not a race" from Freo to the Opera House. 5471 km of self supported suffering on a bike! I'll be watching the dots, and cheering for my mate Paul, riding as "Baz"!

The ride kicks off at 6.22 am, to honour the late Mike Hall, who died after being hit by a car during the inaugural event back in 2017.

Having a go at an #intro #introduction... (I'm really bad at hashtags, so bear with me)...
I've joined the #twittermigration and just want to say thank you to the Mastodon 'oldies' for being patient and welcoming. It must feel like an invasion. I'm going to spend a bit of time sitting back and learning how to do it right!

Anyway, for now, I'm Tracey. Just turned 60 a couple of months ago, gah, how did that happen? I don't *feel* that old! 😱

I've mainly used the bird site for following progressive politics #auspol, but also keeping up (and learning to be a better ally) with everything from #lgbtqia, #indigenousrights #trans #disability etc. I don't always get it right, but I'm always trying to learn and be better.

I'm distressed about how #Covid is being handled, really cheesed off with #letitrip. Wear a #mask! Beside myself about #climatechange and wanton destruction of the #environment

Personally, my main recreational interest is #cycling - mainly #cycletouring with my husband on our tandem.
Earlier this year we did a crazy thing and rode across Australia in #Indipac #IPWR

We have a blog: http://tandemtours.blog I'm in the process of writing up that trip, day by day.

That'll do for now...
