Gone riding...

Well, I guess I've been a bit slow to post anything. But for something different, the bike has been running sweet!!

This weekends ride was just another great day out with my bro and the boys. After a rather large week of mechanical repairs/upgrades on the ute and consoling the family on my departure, we were off. I was feeling very weary eyed starting the day at 4.30am (after 4 hours sleep), the excitement on getting on the rocket just took over.

Even after the three hour steer to Stanthorpe, we were on time for the sign up and start of the ride. The camp was set,the bikes were prepped, and the gear was on in the space of about ten minutes.

No mucking around, let's go! Out to hit the 40 odd kilometer loop that was before us, I wasn't keen to put the first bar to the ground (who's shout is it anyway?)

This bloke thought he would have a lie down in front of me (made it a little difficult, had to come back down and have another go).

I'm not going to lie, the conditions were absolutely perfect. After behing hit with the reminance of summer looming at home with a few steamy nights, it was really nice to experience 18•C and slightly overcast conditions. There had been a little rain about before our arrival which made the slightly sandy soil nice and tacky, but also the plate rock nice and slippery. 

We managed to complete two laps of Saturdays track, and a lap of the Sundays 45 kilometer loop before packing up and heading to the local bistro for a counter meal before heading off home. Great company and great conditions made for a great ride, and thanks again guys for another great weekend! 

Talk at ya soon!
