Julie and I should be good for this one. I rode past it on Thursday going to Mt Pleasant (& thought, that'd be a nice place to stop for lunch) - it was not pleasant being 40 degrees. Now that I've entered my eight decade I'm starting to think 40 is a bit hot for riding a motorcycle. Or perhaps the occasional spoonful of cement might be in order.

Looking like this will be big one.

Sounds good, I've invited a few other ST riders (not OzSTOC) but don't think there will be any takers.

Also home safely.  Thanks to all who attended.  Apologies as I didn't get a group photo.  I think we resolved quite a few world issues though.  :rofl

Home from my almost 500 km round trip.

Shillas, that isn't even one-way for the closest I will ever get.
