This ride was my first ride since my knee replacement surgery three and a half months ago. The day started with blue skies and a little chilly wind coming from the snow caps. We gathered at the BP at Watson and it was nice to be back riding again with the branch. We had a short briefing before setting off to Bungendore travelling via Tarago and Windellama then onto the Meridian Café at Marulan for morning tea.
We then headed off to the Bowral Hotel for lunch via Bundanoon where we noticed an increase in the temperature travelling through the very green southern highlands to arrive on time at 12.00. We ordered lunch and drinks sitting down to some true stories from past adventures. Lunch arrived which was mostly chosen from the $15.00 specials menu.
After lunch we rode back to the highway to quicken our trip home, refuelling at the servo at Goulburn. A few of us lingered for afternoon tea at the Grit Café while the rest headed for home down the highway. We finished our coffee and then travelled home via Tarago to Bungendore.
By the end of the day some of the group were in bit of pain, but I am glad that I can start riding the Triumph once again with like minded Ulysses Club members.
