A great day for a ride

Blue sky,  perfect temperature,   pretty Pichi Richi  pass,  can it get any better for a great ride?  Yes!  on the way through the pass i saw the PRR steam train chuffing  is way to Quorn, then on the way back through town i came across several of the solar challenge solar cars. Steam and the latest technology in electric cars all in one day! Such a great day i rode to the Ranges View lookout 70km north of the port on the Woomera road to see if i could find any other solar cars,  but passed only one - more coming through later this pm though.      :thumbsup

Awesome.  The road from Stirling North to Quorn is a fantastic ride in itself but to see the PPR and solar cars on the same day as well... envious/10.

I wonder if the state government can hook up a generator to the train, may keep the lights on during our next sate wide blackout.  >:():think1

I missed all that.  We flew out to Japan on the day it happened and was close to Singapore by then.
