Tassie came up with a corker day today, one of those days when you feel a little sorry for anyone not living here............sunny, but not too hot, clear blue skies, gentle cool breeze
.............what more could any little Tassie Devil ask for??
Good company..............that's all that was needed!!............and that's exactly what I was lucky enough to have all day today!!
I set off from Nubeena this morning at 8.15am with a couple of riding buddies, Foxy and his missus Wendy, on his Yamaha , and ex vet Phil on his Hyasung, we were all set to meet up with Kev and Simon at Sorell for a ride up the east coast. All went according to plan and we met up with them both at 9.30am. We decided to head up the coast and make our first stop at a very popular coffee shop at Orford................ It looked like every other rider heading north had the same idea, as we arrived to find bikes everywhere. No problem finding an outside table though and after coffee etc. we set off for Swansea.
I gotta tell ya...................I've never had a more pleasant ride........the colour of the water along the east coast road was something to see, and no traffic whatsoever to hold us up..................eat your hearts out, mainlanders!!
After reaching Swansea we grabbed some tucker from a take away and found a table facing the water where we had a very pleasant break. Kev and Simon were planning to head a little further north and take the Lake Leake road to Campbeltown before heading back to Hobart and the rest of us decided to head back the way we came and enjoy some more of the magnificient views we had on the way up. So that's exactly what we did.................we made another stop at Sorell on the way back where I picked up some snags from the butcher for dinner and we headed for home arriving back around 5.00pm.
What a great day...........what great company.................I can't wait for the next one!!
