Ride briefing over, we settled at a ‘not too fast but not too slow’ sort of pace up the Barton Highway headed for our morning tea stop at the Rollonin Café in Bowning. Being old and infirmed, most (if not all) of us parked over the road from the café avoiding the sloping gravel car-park like the plague.
We settled down to coffees and teas with some members electing for a morning snack (adorned with a litre of spray-on cream) and it was here that Marilyn joined us resplendent in her new motorcycle ‘onesie’.
Coffees/teas and snacks consumed, we mounted up and headed for the Burley Griffin Way, after which we turned off through Galong, onto the Kalangan Road, right onto the Boorowa-Harden Road, and then a quick left onto the Moppity Road. Some beautiful scenery around here as we rode some ridgelines, with green paddocks, canola fields, and new lambs to keep us entertained.
Arriving in Young, we all headed to Wilders Bakery for lunch. For the gastronomes out there, I had the Steak and Kidney Pie, which was very pleasant.
A quick trip up to the main petrol station and then an onward journey home via Kingsvale Road and Harden rounded off a very pleasant and relaxed day.
Thanks to all who came and shared their company.
