Despite a few drops of rain on the way to the Foodary meet point, there was very little rain showing on the radar. We left at 10.30 right on time, headed for Yass via Mountain Creek Rd. The road is beaut fun, with plenty of corners - but it is not in the best of condition at the moment, it’s potholed and fairly bumpy.
While it’s a great road and the best way to go to Yass, there are very few centre markings and most 4 wheeled vehicles (and 6 or 8) feel that they can use the centre of the road as their playground. A number of times, ride leader Ron had to push them over so the rest of us could go through uninhibited. If only everyone would stay in their lane, life would be so much easier.
I was riding tail behind Derek and Margie in the sidecar …. I’m sure poor old Margie was on the gravel more than she was on the road. Being Margie, of course she still had a smile from ear to ear when we arrived.
Lunch at the pub was great as usual, around the table was an exotic mix of Thai Beef Salads, shared Nachos, Bacon and Egg Rolls, Burgers, Schnitty’s and even a Seafood Basket.
Four riders returned home the same way we had arrived, two riders took the high road and the Titheradge’s headed off to visit family in Gunning.
Sunshine and happy days – Merry Christmas everybody!
