"It was a shame we experienced bad weather, would have been great to ride those roads when they were dry, like Sunday. I guess thats the trouble with planning an event around one day of the year."
Top weekend.
Missed nearly all the bad weather on the ride up Friday. Just managed to keep ahead of it(even if meant skipping lunch 'till Threadbo.
Saturday just vegged about Jindy, couple of Lattes, nice lunch, and a couple bottles of red.
Sunday, did the loop road home thru Cabrumurra. It was awesome, fantastic weather and met up with about 30 other bikes from another group heading south.
Will definitely be in for the one next year(work depending)
Liked the idea that was throw around of Port Stephens. Not much of trip for the Sydney or Newcastle guys, but central and a great day ride could be organised from there.
P.S.
The other group we met up with on the way home lost a member. But they were conscious of their numbers.
Just as well.
One of them had had an accident and had to be choppered to Canberra with compound fractures.
