Ride to Junee Sunday 12 March 2017

With the start of a beautiful day we set off from the Caltex Gold Creek Village. Destination - Junee. 

Peter Arday took on responsibility of Ride Leader and led us all off towards Harden where we stopped at the Terracotta Café for coffee, cake and a chin wag. I have to say the cake was exceptional and recommend it to
any who may pass through that way.

We then headed down Burley Griffin Way to Wallendbeen, then turning onto the Olympic Highway and riding towards Junee. Fresh road kill was plentiful and the aroma was simply divine. 

Arriving at Junee, after a very hot ride we discovered that the temperature was 35.3 C. We fuelled up the bikes rehydrated with some cold water and headed off for lunch.

Quite a pretty place Junee, the big trees providing a great spot to park the bikes

around the corner from The Railway Cafe where we enjoyed a meal of sandwiches, squid and Bacon and Egg rolls all washed down with milks shakes of varying flavours. Apart from Mr Arday who enjoyed his 4th or was it 5th cup-otea for the day. He was heard to mutter several times, “Gee that tea was good, very very good!”

We enjoyed some tall stories about everything from bikes to bungy-jumping. After a delightful lunch we walked back to the bikes, geared up for the trip home and decided to skip a stopover at Jugiong due to the heat.

We rode via the Gundagai Rd then on to Nangus Rd following the beautiful and scenic Murrumbidgee River into Gundagai, then onto the Hume Highway and home.

Everyone enjoyed the day, all helped along by Peter’s wonderful leading skills and dry wit.
