Arrived Kyogle about 3.30. Great ride except for bridge out Nimbin to Kyogle so we had to back track quite a few km
So back through Nimbin again and 2 lots of roadworks
Beautiful scenery so all worth it
We met up with
George BMW GS850
Grant Triumph Tiger 850
Rob Triumph Tiger 900
At Canungra then headed to Murwillumbah Uki Ninbin x2 then down to Kyogle

Day 1 Done & Dusted time for a beer

Day 2
We went to Dave's Cafe for Breakfast which was very nice
We got on the road about 8.30 and headed towards Casino but we bypassed Casino and headed towards Tenterfield stopping briefly at Drake where we decided to keep going as we passed a wide load and didn't want to get behind it through the twisties
Pulling into Tenterfield we went to the Cafe for a pie and coffee
We had about an hour break
Then saddled up and headed to Glenlyon Dam for a look then someone said we can keep going on this road to Texas
Well he rides an adventure bike 7km of dirt road  :OldMan  :crazy
But it did cut of about 40km so we only did 280km today
We booked into the Stockman Hotel had a shower
Time for a beer
Day 2
Done and Dusted  :thumbsup

Day 3
We woke to a chilly 6° time for a coffee Then a walk up town to stretch the legs before breakfast
About 7.30 We wondered across the road to a great little cafe for breakfast
After that we headed back to finish packing then load the bikes up for our last day together
Leaving About 8.30 we headed to Stanthorpe
About 9.00 I looked at the temperature and it was still 9°
Luckily I had put on my OzSTOC skivvy
When we got to Stanthorpe we headed onto the border range and headed to Killarney coming across a few km of roadworks loose gravel which was not nice to ride on
After the dirt road yesterday I hope I don't see any for quite a while
At Killarney we headed for our usual Cafe21 but found out it had closed down
Well the newsagent across the road now sells coffee and cake.
It was then for the Brisbane boys to leave us they headed towards Woodenbong
The 4 left then headed to Yangan onto the Cunningham highway then home arriving about 1pm
We did 305km today 985km over the 3 days
Great catch up with mates with a few beers
Till next time
Day 3 Done and Dusted
