Being ladies, we left the Gold Creek servo
at the respectable time of 9:30 and headed to Gundaroo.
I led and K agreed to go tail end Charlie.
Out along the Barton and turned right on
the Nanima Road past Poacher’s Pantry and The Chocolate Farm – we all resisted
temptation to stop at both. Well really,
I didn’t ask, but it can be part of another Girl’s ride.
At Gundaroo |
Turned right onto the Murrumbateman Road
and left past Bowylie Station to Gundaroo.
Coffee at the Pizza place, great coffee and chats. Lucky we didn’t rush off – not that we had
long distances to go – as 2 young ladies came across Karen’s Mobile on the
ground near the bikes and came looking for the owner.
Bowylie is where Dick Smith now lives of
course. However back in the last half of
the 70’s my Mother and youngest Sister lived at Bowylie. We had great fun riding our horses around the
property. The entrance to Mum’s place
was off Shingle Hill Way, so naturally we had to go that way so I could show
the girls where they lived. Shelly took
over tail end Charlie from Gundaroo to Bungendore.
On to the Federal Highway briefly and then
on to the Bungendore Road past Bywong and on to Bungendore.
We arrived a little early (of course), so
we wandered through the shops. We
dawdled through the Antique shop – there is so much to see in there! AND no one bought anything – dada!
Lunching at the Wood Works Cafe |
Lunch at the Woodworks Café, where Tracey
Winters joined us and kindly took photographs.
The food and company was great. It is always good to hear about the
lives of others and make new friends.
Although not a great distance was covered
for the day, we all really enjoyed our ride, especially the two Learners, who
enjoyed watching the experienced girls ride. I think it gave them a nice
serving of confidence.
I look forward to the next girl’s ride and the vote from the girls is
definitely up to do another.
Thank you Tracey for the photo’s :-)
