Sunday’s weather looked not so favourable, however nine riders and one pillion arrived at Nichols and St. Pedro said that the radar forecast would be ok.
By the time 0930 arrived so did the light rain, this was no deterant as we were determined to go for our ride.
Heading out the Barton to Yass then onto Boorowa for morning tea saw us continually travelling through light misty rain and showers, then sunshine then light showers then sunshine, just like a normal day in Melbourne.
Trevor joined us at Boorowa then it was off to Crookwell via Rugby. Great piece of road and some nice corners to boot. However, all riders were shattered when an idiot in a very late model Range Rover decided to compromise our safety by endangering each and every one of us overtaking on double white lines around completely blind corners. It was suggested at our break that maybe he was a drug runner. Just the same we all were very lucky no one was coming in the opposite direction.
Crookwell saw the short ride to Garbben Gullen but the temperature dropped dramatically plus the winds picked up and gave us a nudge or two just to keep the senses wide alert.
A few riders decided that the Seafood Menu for lunch might be somewhat dubious so they decided to travel onto Gunning. However upon viewing the menu those who stayed enjoyed quite a variety of well cooked food. A nice open fire and great country hospitality the chef had a chat to all of us, he rides a Harley and was interested in our travels.
After lunch the crew split up and headed home via various ways.
A shorted ride and another good outing and enjoyable company.
