Currently in Tewantin, leave Saturday AM for Coraki, I reckon Helen & I can meet for an early lunch, will need to leave by around 1:00pm if we are to get to Coraki at a respectable hour to set-up camp.  Touring with big rig can be slow.

Carrol and I had a great day.
We had a fun ride through the back roads and twisties and got a park directly outside the Hotel.

What a great day for a ride
I met my mate Rob at the top of Herries St at 9.00. We had coffee then headed to Grantham we did the Placid Hills Rd then onto the Gatton Esk Road to Toogoolawah where we met up with a large group of ST riders
All up I counted 16 people attended which is our largest catch up since our mid week RTE Diesel organised a few months ago
It was great chatting with everyone that attended
We even had Williamson & Helen from Victoria attended are tripping around Australia on holidays
The Toogoolawah Hotel is a great venue for groups like OzSTOC. I had the steak sandwich which was delicious
But we had to head for home so Rob and I did a back road that Diesel told us about from Toogoolawah to Esk that keeps us off the main road
From Esk we scooted up to Hampton which is one of my favourite roads then back to Toowoomba
We end doing a bit over 200km
Thank you to Shiney and Gadget for organising another wonderful RTE
Looking forward to the next RTE at Rick's garage at Palmwoods hoping to see a large crowd there

It was a great day for a ride.

The GPS took me up the Bruce Highway (choked with holiday traffic so the safety lane got a lot of use) onto the D'Auguilar Hwy trough to Kilcoy. Caught up to a 4WD just before Wamuran, which insisted on doing 40 on the 60 zone and 60 in the 80 zone with so much traffic coming the other way, there was no room to overtake. Eventually, they turned off, and at the speed limit, I caught up to another slow car, variably doing 10 to 20 under the limit. I had to sit behind them until after Kilcoy.

After Kilcoy, I turned left onto Esk-Kilcoy Rd and very shortly after turned right onto Gregors Creek Rd. Within 500 metres, I caught up to a very slow caravan, and fortunately, there was a place to overtake.

Sitting on the speed limit again, about 80% along the road, I spied a white ST1300 up ahead. As I closed in, I could see they were riding with a pillion, and I assumed it was Draco and Ros. When I arrived at the RTE, I found out I was right.

It was great to catch up with so many OzSTOC people and have a great chat and good food. Even though I was on a diet, I found a relatively light meal option, which was delicious.

It was time to head home, and I decided to go via Mt Glorious. With the GPS set for home (it kept wanting me to go via Kilcoy), I headed towards Esk knowing/hoping it would pick the Mt Glorious route. It told me to turn left at Mt Beppo Rd, but assuming it was trying to still get me to go via Kilcoy, I kept heading south to the Esk-Kilcoy turnoff I knew.

I almost missed the Winenhoe-Somerset turn-off, and even though the GPS wanted me to continue to Kilcoy, I did a quick U-turn to head to Mt Glorious.

Beetling up Mt Glorious, enjoying the corners and the bush, I came up to some roadworks traffic lights, and saw what looked like the brake lights of a Honda ST1300. As I was pulling up I could see Carrol's OzSTOC jacket,  and Shiney raising his arm to wave. (I left Toogoolawah before they were suited up)

We had a short chat at the lights, and the two catr at the front waved us ahead when the lights went green.

I followed Shiney and Carrol down towards Samford, and onto Eaton's Crossing Rd. On the roadworks I noticed Shiney lifting his arms and looking like he was pointing out something to Carrol, so I'm looking up into the trees, powelines, sky and wondering and then he kept doing it. I realised he was waving back to the little yellow cutout human shapes that are on the roadworks point out the overhead powerlines to the ground crew. That gave me a really good chuckle.

I waved goodbye to Shiney and Carrol as I turned off to Lilley Rd and the Ira Buckby Rd (which my GPS calls I R A Buckby Rd) and made my way home, in time to spend some time with the Grand-daughters before they were picked up to go home.

Thanks, Leo, for the wonderful destination suggestion.

Good to catch-up with the Banana-Benders yesterday, a great day for an RTE, the roads from the Sunshine Coast made for very envious for a ride.  Thanks for the company and chat, and the BS (usual for an RTE).

That was us.  Slow?  I call it driving to the conditions, it's pretty crappy road, rough edges, narrow (for towing a caravan), poor bouncy surface, blind corners and crests - I thought I was back in VIC.

What can I say? It was a fantastic day, the roads were clean, the bike felt planted and every car I came across going over Mt Glorious pulled over to let me pass!  8)
