Keen to do this again but given I shall be in Tassie later in the year I might be pushing my luck with my better half on getting away for another overnighter. But it is in my diary, just i n pencil.

Sorry, have to take it back to 21.

Much as want to be there & join in the fun and get a great ride in, I have to do groan up things next weekend and this has to be the thing to drop off.

Nobody ever told me being an adult would be this difficult. :angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon :grin

Top weekend thanks all. Run up Sat was cool to nice and warm 22, just right. Few minor changes to my route brought me in a little later than expected but was a nice run and quiet on the road. Sun cool to cold, came back via Hay Deny and on to Home nice run but didnt see more than 14 deg so jumper on then 11deg and plastics on. Other than getting half a cup of heavy dew in Heathcote, had a dry run there and back. Got in around 4.30. I think it was too cold to rain.................But the grips work nicely :eek Thanks again all..Nigel

I had a fun ride on the new BEEstY following STroppy, I arrived home dry but very cold and sore, then sat down on the floor and slept for 2hrs. It was great to catch up with all and meet a few new STowners Ian Bren and Brendan and, sorry I've forgotten the girls name who was with them.
BEEstY is a fun ride but I can see myself getting into trouble. It might be wise to park him behind the 2 ST's and ride them..
