That's fine, I know where you mean. They closed the cafe down recently because the owner put their rent up too much but I think it could have re opened under new management. I can check that out..........
But, I'm having second thoughts as to whether I'll make the ride. I got to thinking last night about the distance home after leaving St Marys (290kls) and if I didn't get away from there until 1.30pm then there's no way I could make it home before dark................now, you know I'm not afraid of the dark, but I am afraid of the critters that start running, hopping and jumping around once it starts getting dark here on the Peninsula.
It starts to get dark here around 4.30 at the moment and I know I couldn't make it back here before then. You might think I'm a little paranoid, and maybe I am, but if you'd seen the size of some of the huge wombats I've seen lately then you'd understand why. I saw three of them recently near the side of the road within 150 metres of each other..........and if you think they don't run, then think again
.......I've had one run straight across in front of my car and that was before dark. I was stunned as to how fast he ran. Hitting one of them is like hitting a brick wall.........I know because unfortunately I hit one once when I was driving the Ambulance at night.........being almost black they're so damm hard to see. So mate, I think St Mary's for me will be a summer run,
)when the days are longer and it doesn't get dark until 9.30pm.
I don't mind missing out as I can ride almost any day I choose, provided the kids don't put a spoke in the works that is!!
We'll catch up mate!!
