After a short ride brief by our Ride Leader – Andrew Campbell, 15 riders and 1 pillion took to the road, with Mike Kelly volunteering to be “Tail-end-Charlie”.
Least to say, there no accidents or incidents to be had on the day as we continued our trip to our first stop at the Nimmitabel Bakery for morning coffee.
No trip is never as simple as the most direct way to the destination when on a motorbike, with a couple of extra turns we added many more kilometres, twists and turns, to break up the journey. The scenery was second to none.
Garry made us regroup – in the middle of the road – to allow an echidna/porcupine thing, to cross the road. Garry, with a coffee under his belt, was also seeing ostriches,…apparently.
After a quick stop for lunch – like 20 minutes – just enough time to eat a toasted sanger, we hit the road again – of course, taking the long way back to Cooma.
Once in Cooma we regrouped outside a service station, where a majority of the fellas enjoyed an icecream. After a few more chats, stories and pics we scattered on our way back to Canberra.
Genelle and I decided to call in at the Bredbo Xmas shop and well,…..Wow. Definitely a place worth visiting.
Thanks to Andrew for leading and Mike for tailing. Great company, great weather, great ride – It was a fantastic day…..Can we have longer for lunch though?
