Hi all,
We gathered at the Caltex in Nicholls all keen to go with the promise of a perfect day. Someone brought up that Garry McC had seen deer on a farm just passed Hall on the left hand side. No-one had believed him at the time. But we can confirm that he wasn’t seeing things.
We continued on to our first important meeting – coffee in Boorowa at the Superb Parrot café. Unfortunately along the way, there were some road repairs underway. Sections of dirt had been nicely watered - to make the tar grow? – which left our bikes with lovely pale mud splatters. I’m sure I could rinse off enough to start a small garden bed – splattered from head to foot! Back to coffee! I assisted Catherine with how to spill her tea properly out of the dribbly teapot and found out that Chris’ son had thought about asking my Emily out to their school formal.

We continued to Temora – don’t remember the road through the farming country, but fairly straight with big sweeping corners every now and again. Arrived at the RSL for lunch. Placed our orders and waited for the veges to grow and the meat to get slaughtered and the fish to be caught. There were reminiscences about trips gone by. Budgey smugglers figured in that conversation.
We went and filled up at Cootamundra after lunch. I tried to shake my fringe out of my eyes and ended up spilling petrol. We laughed at me wetting myself.
Headed to Harden for the last important coffee of the day at the Terracotta Cafe. Peter A told us that he lost one of his earplugs that he had originally found somewhere. We suspect that it may have been sucked into his brain and was probably rattling around in there or even maybe a black hole to another universe. As they had been found by him, we were toying with the idea of what they could have been used to plug up??
Michael was sharing with us the price he has to continue to pay for his new acquisition – the Trophy. In addition to his piece of cake he bought a piece of cake for Tracey to take home. He also said he pats the cat at least once a week. Peter A wished he could pat the cat once a month let alone once a week. Ha ha ha
Just to complete my excitement for the day, nearly back in Canberra on the edge of the tar on our side, was a brown snake reared up and looking mighty cranky at all the traffic whizzing passed him. My left leg automatically lifted out of his way just as a reaction. Anyway, an enjoyable day riding in spite of the strong winds in the afternoon and sharing chit chat and laughs yet again.
