In Bungama now.  The weather is gorgeous.

For the uneducated (self included) Port Pirie is near enough https://goo.gl/maps/tmuPUTuZveq

Another RTE that some of us diehards managed to attend was completed today.

Thanks to Bodø for attending

I did take a photo of Heather and Bodø but the image didn't turn out to well.

The meals we had weren't to bad though the cost of $18 each. The salad was to fancy for me and not what I'd use anyway.

Heather had the squid and way to much for her so took some home for later

I aimed to get some video today but just to much vibration at highways speeds to get anything decent - even with the cam on the helmet the state of our secondary roads gives very little useful vision; hoping the anti vibration mount I ordered reduces most of it.

We ended up doing a round trip of 235km over 2 hours 49 minutes or 83 k/h average.

Good report Thanks Alan

It's perfect weather, so have a great ride today.  Think of me slaving away at a MASSIVE church garage sale instead of .....   

Thanks for the ride report Alan, and sorry I couldn't make it.   Our Church Garage Sale raised over $5,500 to go towards a kitchen upgrade.   I was totally knackered at the end of the day after working on set-up on Friday night and then all day Saturday, as I'll take quite some time to get over the impact of the chemo.   Every time I walked outside for a Sausage Sizzle or browse through the plant stall, I kept thinking that it was a prefect day for a decent ride.

Well done Alan.
Great report.
