Aaron Liked Byron Bay.
Eric Liked Byron Bay too.
After a huge road ride from Evans Head at our fastest maintained speed yet, we cruised into the laid back town of Byron Bay for some well deserved fun in the sun. We were lucky to have arrived early enough to get a room and quickly headed out for the afternoon run to explore the town. We found out the town was worth a visit for several days. We enjoyed a night of live music at the beachside bar and got into our groove.
The next morning Aaron had the strength to wake up for a sunrise on Australia's eastern most point. We went for another run to the lighthouse and down the entire beach. good times. That afternoon we hung beachside and soaked up some gorgeous rays. It wasn't long before Eric realised the opportunity that lied before him, so he made the move, bought a bag of ice, a litre of cola, and good ol' Cap't. Oh man, good times for sure.
That night we had a SWEET prime rib dinner at a cool restaurant just across our live music joint. We topped off the night with a fire show, beachside of course. Unfortunately Eric managed to top the Maui burn back in August with a 3-4 second burn circling his stomach. Not so good times. But, as our friends from the movie Point Break infamously said, "Pain is temporary, Glory lasts forever, and Chicks dig scars."
The next morning we had to hit the road early for another huge ride to catch Chad in time in Brisbane. Fortunately we had an extra day pop in our schedule somewhere so we were able to chill beachside once again at Surfer's Paradise. It was a sweet beach spot but the town itself was a little too Vegas like, only a bit cheesier. Not to mention the contrast between Surfer's and Byron Bay. But we had our fun cruising the town, regrouping a bit, and going for another long beach run.
All in all, we loved the atmosphere of Byron Bay and definitely appreciated the opportunity to relax a bit.
