Originally 7 people were planning on attending, but only 4 made it on the day.
Nigel, Gordo, SteveR, MickS.
Not too bad considering the weather.
It had been very cold and wet for at least a week.
At 4 am Sat morning on the day of the ride laying in bed listening to the rain belting down and the wind howl, my mind was busy thinking up plausible reasons why I was unable to ride today.
Anyhow, out of bed 7am, shower and breakfast, rug up and on the road at 8am.
Coffee and fuel at a service centre along the way, arrived at the Thoona pub 11:45am.
By the time I had one pot of coke Gordo arrived and not long after that Nigel also.
We chatted and waited for awhile before eating, just in case anyone else turned up.
We ate our meals and were walking out the door around 2:15 to head home when SteeveR arrived.
Quick hello’s a couple of photos to prove we were there, a lame excuse from me that I wanted to get home before dark and I headed off.
Rained Melbourne to Geelong, arrived home near Geelong 5:30
I did see the Thermometer nudge above 10 degrees C once for the whole day - brrrrr
All up, 648 K’s for the day
