Title: RR - QLD Esk Bakery - Sun 05 June 2016
Post by: Shiney on June 06, 2016, 02:06:35 PM

The day started with Draco and myself heading off from my place a little after 08:00.

Due to all the heavy rain over the preceding days we decided to just follow the highway all the way there.

Along the way a large group of riders entered the highway just in front of us so we followed them for a while.

We stopped to discuss putting on wet weather gear and we met up with caverboo (we decided to go on without the wets :eek)

Eventually we arrived at Esk where we met up with everyone and had a feed and a coffee

Sorry I couldn't make it guys, I've not been well lately had to pull out of the battle on the border with Adrian which was disappointing.

I don't know what's happening but volumes of severe abdo pain, and dosed up on very strong pain killers which knock me out so I'm in bed most of the time.  So looks like it's time to go back to the Doctors and find out what's happening. Last CT scan was good news that the cancer is stable and not growing.

Anyhoo, it looked a great ride wish I could have gone. I'll try and make the next one but it may be in the MG or the new Ranger if she's arrived.

Shiney, as always ... Love your work....

Thanks TJ, hopefully the next RTE will work out, it would be great to catch up :thumbsup

Sabie, sorry to hear that the pain has you laid up in bed so much :'( I hope the docs are able to come up with something to help get you back on the ST soon mate :blu13 :runyay

It would be great if you can make the next one even in the MG (always a crowd pleaser) or the Ranger (I'm sure everyone is keen to check out the new wheels)  :thumbsup
