Ride to Gunning 18 October 2015

Sunday was a pleasant cloudy day - around 24 degrees. This ride was changed to Gunning to allow people to get home in time to watch the MotoGP.

BP Watson was a comfortable venue to meet and we got away at 10.30ish after the ride briefing and a few stragglers arrived.

The directionally challenged ride leader took a wrong turn when instructed by her Garmin GPS with brand new maps (damn you Garmin). This was an excellent rider development opportunity for everyone - U-Turn practice hones your skills and everyone knows that practice makes perfect.

The Merino Cafe food was excellent as usual, I saw an Anzac Biscuit that resembled a pancake.

After an hour or so at the cafe, some headed off for a longer ride and the other 8 or so riders went home.

The opportunity to get out in the fresh air on your bike with pleasant conversation and coffee was enjoyed, as usual.
