mount hotham tomorrow

yep, decided that i was going to go even though my ankle hasn't completely healed (still a couple weeks away i think). i'm taking my road bike up, so hopefully, it's not raining or anything, the forecast says it might, so let's hope it holds off till we're back on sunday evening. i'll be leaving work early tomorrow (around lunch time), riding to roger's work, leaving my bike there for scott to take up (he's got bike racks on his car), then coming back to camberwell, to grab my stuff. we're hoping to be out of the city a bit after 2pm, and on the way to the big mountain. so i guess, we'd be hoping to get to mike's lodge around 6-7pm (supposedly this place has seven rooms!! smiley), let's just hope, i don't forget anything.

anyway, i don't know what's actually planned, but i am hoping to take my bike out on saturday morning, riding down the mountain to harrietville i guess, then maybe ride around for a bit, before riding back up the mountain (30km, divided into three sections, 6.6% the first 10km, smiley ouch! 1.8% the next ten, then 4.9% to finish off), i've never done anything like that before, so i'll be amazed if i can get close to pulling it off, let alone actually doing the whole thing. we'll see though, it may end up, just going for a hike, i'd rather ride though smiley.

anyways, hopefully i'll be able to get some sunset photos (5.50am sunrise come on smiley), i've got two nights i guess, and also hopefully some picturesque shots of the mountain, or from the mountain. i really hope i don't stuff up the chances i get, and manage to take some reasonable photos. i'll post more when i get back, and hopefully, i'll have some shiny new galleries to add too.
