The ride left Hume Caltex at 08:30am in beautiful weather. We headed to Jindabyne for fuel, Kosciusko National Park passes & morning tea.
On our way
to Jindabyne we had a very enjoyable ride through some very pretty
countryside with warm temperatures & sunny blue skies.
We had a
very pleasant morning tea at Jindabyne sitting under an umbrella on the
outside deck area at the coffee shop located in the same building as the
National Parks Office.
After morning tea the ride up to Thredbo was also very enjoyable.
While
riding through the park we sighted an unfriendly snake on the road who
had a bit of a strike at a few of the group as we rode past.
On arrival at Thredbo we parked the bikes & headed to the Hotel for a very nice lunch.
Before leaving Hume there was a report that the weather in Thredbo was going to be cold & windy. Fortunately for us when we arrived in Thredbo the weather was very sunny, warm & no wind.
However, while eating lunch we could see the weather was changing out on the horizon. In order to beat the bad weather we did not stay too long in Thredbo after lunch.
We decided to have a quick look at Thredbo from a top car park & then head off to Cooma for fuel & afternoon tea.While afternoon tea at Cooma was also very good we needed to keep an eye on the weather.
We finished afternoon tea said our good byes & headed for Canberra arriving home at about 4:30pm.
In summary the day was very enjoyable, great company, good weather for motor bike riding & magnificent scenery.
