Heather and I got back home at about 6:40pm after leaving Robe about 8am.

1,142 km for the weekend over 14 hours riding time.

Thanking everyone who attended - not sure how many turned up but I counted at 18 people sitting at the table last night.

A few photos which I'll put up later taken of the group sitting at the table .

Safe trip home buddy, see you again soon.

At least the weather looks a lot clearer this morning, without the fog.

Currently at the lookout in Ararat.  I've ridden the Pyrenees before.  I think Noah's Ark is said to be resting up here.

Join the club - for the last year my teeth have been doing their best to leave.

Cracked a molar a few weeks ago and on Friday night it started giving pain so on to the paracetamol and generic Nurofen which takes away most of the pain.

On the ride down yesterday I chipped a piece off of the last rear tooth on my lower gum. Not bad in itself but the sharp edge interferes with the tongue. Keeps me quiet I guess but annoying

Dentist on Thursday for that.

A really good catch up, thanks everyone. On the Sunday I rode to Tyrendarra with a mate on a new Sport Glide - Harley are finally getting their act together. The Harley consistently gave better fuel consumption, despite being 1745cc (or thereabouts), by about 1.5 to 2.0l/300km - the Honda was more economical (financially) however because 91 could be used rather than 98 (there is very little 95 in country areas, 95 being the recommended minimum for the Harley).
About 10am on Sunday a kangaroo wanted to get a bit close and personal - more good luck than good management resulted in a near miss. The rest of the ride was uneventful (excepting the old dear who decided to go through the roundabout from my left at Naracoorte as I was turning right - close, but no cigar).
Temps ranged from 15 to 33. I was very glad I had the cut down screen on when it was 33.
