The ride started out wet, raining at home and continued through to Verdun and the Stanley Bridge Hotel where Sandra & I met up with Stinky Pete and Langer. We left there for Truro, with a forecast of 60% chance of rain of up to 2mm. Well, we had 100% rain for most of that leg, and got everyone's 2 mm.
It was a slow ride through the hills as traffic slowed when Pete's new BMW, same model as SAPOL ride, came up behind them.
Met Richo at Truro bakery, a little behind schedule. Coffee, tea & cake while stripping off wet weather gear.
Then back on bikes for the ride to Waikerie Hotel Motel for lunch, where Bodo and John G were waiting for us.
Lunch, a drink, much talk before group photo with flag and departing back after 2.00.
Pete, Langers, John G & Bodo & selves rode to Swan Reach for afternoon tea, then Pete, Bodo & selves rode to Sedan, where Bodo split off on his way, while Pete & selves went back through Mt Pleasant and waved bye to each after just past Woodside.
A great days ride, despite the rain. Not only Sandra's longest ride, but the first in the wet & she enjoyed it all.
Looking forward to another RTE later in the year
