Chomp and Chat to Laggan 17th Nov 2019

A beautiful bright and sunny day, but with a hint of morning chill, saw twenty souls gather at BP Watson for the ride out to Laggan. Apparently Maritta, the listed ride leader had called in sick, so Al-ride-leader-for-hire, stepped into the breach and led us to Laggan.

We picked up one (Garry) in Gundaroo and lost one (Jenny) in Gunning on our journey to Laggan, via Sutton, Gundaroo, Gunning, Grabben Gullen, and Crookwell.

I’d never actually been in to Laggan, having only gone through the four-way intersection on my way to Taralga. It’s a small but pretty little town.  Laggan pub was quite nice too and noticeably popular. Many and varied punters there including quite a few bike riders. My only complaint was it took them 50 minutes to knock up a hamburger. Maybe just a bad day. (But it was worth the wait, I thought – Ed)



Once our meals were eaten Al offered a route home that comprised heading to Goulburn , taking the Range Road to Breadalbane and then on to Gunning for an afternoon coffee stop.




Half the group took the Al-offered option, while the others headed home via the highway from Goulburn.


A great day’s ride in perfect spring weather!
