Diesel asked me on the OzSTOC Facebook page whether I enjoyed the Rally, but also the planning and the journey to & from.
I really enjoyed the Rally, it's a bit like extended family get togethers - they may only happen once or every couple of years & conversations and relationships pick up where they were left off.
Planning the trip up was a good challenge & I was able to plan one that had new destinations (for me) on the route.
When Williamson posted on the Forum that he was looking to come back via the coast & seeking interest from those wanting to join th Fellowship of the Ride, that pretty much fitted with my plans. Had an enjoyable trip back with him & Nigel, sharing stories, tables, drinks & accommodation. The route down the coast took me to many places I hadn't been to before, including riding in the Big Smoke of Sydney - somewhere I'd never driven or ridden before.
Looking forward to the next one, wherever it is.
