However six souls turned up to travel into the unknown. Which we decided would be Goulburn, Taralga , Crookwell and Gunning via a circuitous route. First stop was the Grit Cafe up in Goulburn near McDonalds and I feel that one thing McDonalds do well is carparks we had no trouble parking close to the Cafe.
The ride up was uneventful until Peter's left Pannier decided open. However judicious use of Duct tape fixed this. The ride went via Currawang which was in good condition and worth the detour.
After Coffee and Tea we once more headed north into the gathering gloom. At Taralga we turned towards Crookwell. This road has recently been upgraded and has lovely sweeping curves and good road surface.
Through Crookwell, down to Gurrandah (?) Road where we took a detour via Breadalbane. The roads were generally in good shape and it was a pleasant diversion through the countryside.
At Gunning some stopped for lunch, others head south hoping to miss the gathering rain. I can not speak for others but I arrived home mostly dry.
It was a small number but a pleasant ride and maybe another time to Oberon.
The riders were:
- Trevor McLeod FSR1300
- Chas Towie ST1300
- Peter Arday NT700
- Gary Thomas R1200R
