Highfields Subway 7.50am - Departing 8 am.

RuSTyEB
If I can finish early I may make the 8.00 departure from Subway Highfields, but don't wait for me just in case
But keep an eye out in your rear view mirror for a Black ST1300 as I should not be far behind you :grin

If my roster doesn't change I would like to attend and tag along with the Toowoomba riders leaving from Highfields I believe. Have just had some major work done to the st1300 to try and improve the fuel economy including injector service and a few other things so need to get it out on the road to give her a go. :rd13

Yes, I'm planning on coming back via Mt Glorious with a stop at the Maiala Teahouse and Restaurant (back in the owners hands) .

I've never been down Moggil Road or Mt Crosby, so I thought an early Saturday morning roll through there might be interesting. 8)

Took my "boring" :nahnah ride down through Becketts Road, Southpine Road, onto the Centenary Hwy and then Moggil Rd to Mt Crosby Road and out onto the Warrego.

I thought I'd be clever and plan a route on the GPS on the phone before I left. I made the mistake of picking a spot on Becketts Rd via the Map, not knowing it was on the bound side. The GPS wasn't happy I missed a "Stop-over" and for the rest of the way there (even after I passed through another "stop-over" it kept telling me to "do a u-turn ", "turn left and then turn left" or "turn right and then turn right" all the way to Esk Bakery.

Once there I had a beautiful Coffee and Pie and excellent Company meeting new faces and catching up with some familiar faces.

A good chin-wag was had and some great ideas discussed (thanks TJ and Biggles [Lake Macquarie is 812 km from Brisbane via the Pacific and 826 km via the New England]) as well as some good jokes and laughs.

After a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours I headed towards Home with Diesel via Mt Glorious with a planned stop for a Cuppa at Mailala Tea House and Restaurant. After a thoroughly enjoyable lunch and coffee with Diesel we continued towards home via Samford and Winns Road back towards Strathpine. Near Southpine dam we parted company and I wandered home via Young's Crossing and Kurwongbah.

Another Great day.

Aren't GPSes annoying the way they insist you run over the mark or else!
I believe some have a setting that allows a bit of leeway. For an "intelligent" device, they sure are dumb.
I've encountered some that would let you do a GoTo from present position to the next waypoint.

After finishing work I rode down from Toowoomba Hampton to Esk with 2 work mates, Great pie coffee and chat, good to catch up with a few old and some new faces. We headed home via Gatton back up the Toowoomba range and off to bed for a well earned rest

Good to get out on a ride today. We left Highfields a little late, Graham is the only one who knows why :grin

Esk-Hampton Rd through Ravensbourne is just a great ride with a little bit of everything. Thanks to those who rode down with us.

On the way back we (Bushy, Dave and I) took a detour via Lake Perseverance, another nice road.

Had a blast today, we where a bit slow out of the blocks in meeting RustyEB, we landed in Highfields about 8.15....

Waiting for us was RustyEB, Tiger, & Chris with a couple of mates

had a great run up to Esk, thank you to the crazy truck driver who was trying to over take us all leaving Highfields.....

Rolling up there was already a great line up of bikes, and people parked up having a coffee!

A great time among fellow ST fans.

Here's a different bunch of pix:

Pleasant run through cool Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious on the way over with YoungSTer and a rural rollick with TJ on the way home. Nice weather for riding, but a bit hot by the time I got home through the city traffic lights.

Another huge turnout to raise the bar a bit higher for WA.

One observation: we really don't want to confirm Joe Public's opinion about "bikies" by revving our engines long and loud at our meetings. The Police attended one of our Esk Bakery events last year and I was surprised the locals didn't send them along again this time.

All in all another awesome RTE to Esk :thumbsup

Nah, the schWing's made you soft! It was great out over the mountains in the morning, and on the road homewards. It hit 31 through the city which is too hot to sit looking at brain-dead red traffic lights.
A little suffering for a big gain.

Off you go and have your Milo before beddy-byes. :rofl

I enjoyed the day very much.

I rode directly up the various M numbers, then north at Blacksoil (I think it's called) and into the bakery car park. After a coffee, some chat and a bite to eat, I then meandered from Esk, through Gatton, then to Allora, across to Boonah, then home through Canungra to Burleigh Heads. Bliss.

(my only complaint would be that mid section of the road between Gatton and Allora, near the Thiess memorial, is very rough!)

Thanks to everyone for making Loz and I feel so welcome. It was great to finally meet the faces behind the names.
This was our first of many rides.

I thoroughly enjoyed the RTE at Esk. Great bunch of people and really good to find so many like minded souls. Had a good look around the bikes and at the various approaches to farkling. Picked Shiney's brain for ideas and it was good to finally meet Diesel,Streak,Biggles etc. And to catch up with TJ again, look forward to the next ride.
