Another great ride yesterday :runyay....................a spur of the moment decision on Saturday night....................with the weather soooooooooo good at the moment why haven't we got a ride planned for tomorrow(Sunday). So we decided to meet up at Foxy's at 9.00 and head off towards Sorell and then make a decision where to go from there. On the way in we made a stop at Copping, where there is a historic museum that has recently been taken over by new management, We've all passed this place hundreds of times but never stopped to look inside. Well, what a surprise, the place was loaded chock a block with the most interesting stuff I've ever seen. You could spend a day there and not see everything. The cost.........a gold coin donation! They've also installed new expresso equipment and I can absolutely recommend their coffee. After reaching Sorell we decided to head off up the East coast again but as Phil need to get home early we made Buckland our destination. There's a take away at Buckland that serves great Flathead fillets (been there and sampled them many times) so after our lunch break & re-fueling we turned for home. Weather all day was fantastic, not a cloud in the sky, quite warm but a nice cool breeze, fantastic riding conditions. We made a quick stop at the Dunnally Hotel on the way home and met up with a swag of other riders (Motorcycle Club of Tasmania) who had ridden down to the Peninsula from Hobart, we'd passed these guys going in the opposite direction when we were riding in to Sorell earlier in the day and there must have been about sixty of them. Like us, they'd been out and about making the most of the great weather. But I gotta say..........I wish we could get some bloody rain!!!

I promise I will Diesel.............I usually take a camera with me but we never stop while riding through the best parts. What I might have to do one day is head off to Swansea on my own and make it a photo day.
Keep on prompting.............they will come!!

At last :hatwave.....................it started raining last night and we had reasonable rain for quite a few hours. Just checked my main tank and it's two thirds full :thumbsup.............not bad considering it was only holding about one tenth of a tank. I was intending to order 5000 litres of water today, so now I won't need to. That's just saved me $170.........yahoo!!! :runyay
We haven't had any rain today but it looks like we might get more rain again tonight......hope so! It's also turned quite cold again..........crazy weather..........but I'm not complaining, particularly when I see the heat wave on the WESTERN FRONT. I really feel for you guys, I know what 40 degrees feels like.
