Unlike Gadget, I didn't get up especially early- it's a Holiday, for crying out aloud.  (Oh yes, and I'm retired, have I mentioned that?)   :grin

I wanted to add value to the trip by picking up a few Bonus Locations for our FarRiders' Rallies.  So I tracked via a Wamuran historical site that I've been hankering after for a long time, then the great run up and over Mt Mee from the east.

I rolled into town at 11:11, but wasn't quite the tardiest.  The Bakery ladies were very efficient and everyone was soon wrapping themselves around pies and coffees.



You've seen plenty of pix of the bikes, but here's my version:



After we had covered the basics about the farkles, we headed off, me to grab another historical marker nearby.



Love this stuff!    :runyay

Goodonya for finding another top destination, Stimpy.  Get strong again soon and I'll try to get along to the next inspired RTE.     :thumbs
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I'm glad everyone had a great time - how were the pies  :eat ?
Due to 60hrs work & a missed Physiotherapy session (not my fault- he was sick) i now have 2 sore shoulders to contend with  :H
The next RTE will be based around Allan passing through on his trip around Australia.
Hopefully details of which will be available sooner rather than later - he is testing his gear and will be hitting the road soon .
