30-09-2018 Just A little Ride
« on: October 01, 2018, 12:10:24 AM »
Not much going on today and being a Sunday in our three day Labour Day weekend we went for ride just up the road to the Big Dice at Winininnie.

Google says it's 111km (about 70 miles) and just over an hour away from home and we took about an hour and a half including a fuel stop on the way out of town.

On the return trip we passed one of our friendly highway patrol guys who had pulled over a speeding female driver. Get to see the offender when you're slowed to 25 k/h as you go past the patrol car with it's lights flashing in a 110 zone.

The quarantine station at Oodlawirra (20km from home) is just a formality for us. Nothing on board and we only went the other side of Yunta and a quick glance at the SA plate on the bike and we're free to go.
 
We left home at 12:45 pm and got back at 4:00 pm and did 225 km (140 miles) for the day.

Is the last photo "a big thing in front of an old bridge"?    :crackup
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 wouldn't worry as I can't even read it.
