The universe provided a wonderful day, sunshine and pleasant temps. I met Don and Jackie at Narrellan Macca's as arranged by A2Z Allen and Fiona, who due to a dead battery didn't arrive on time. Don and I went via the Northern Rd then across to Mulgoa Rd and onto the Great Western Hwy and up the mountain to arrive at Mountain High Pies at 11.57 with 3 mins to spare as noted by Onesie. Allen and Fiona arriving about 10 mins later. There was a message sent from Flash telling of his dilemma after hitting a HUGE pothole shredding his front tyre and trashing his rim. So Flash, Annie and her Mum didn't attend.
There were ST's out the front and round the side, and a bike or 2 from other STables. a couple of newbies and many familiar faces all ready to consume the great pies on offer. I did a head count of 26 but I may have missed a couple of Onesie's crew of 12.
There was a OzSTOC pic or 2 taken so please can someone post them up.
I travelled home with Don and Jackie this time turning off at Mulgoa and going thru Warragamba, Greendale, the Oaks and when we got to the edge of Picton found Barkers Lodge Rd closed due to a fatal accident, details unknown, so a little more riding via Thirlmere were I departed ways with Don and Jackie heading south and me back to Picton.
This was my longeST ride since Toowoomba back in March, winter hadn't been kind to me but with winter ending tomorrow I hope to be out on STranger more making up for lost k's.
I had a great day and met some new people and caught up with some familiar faces.
I truST every one arrived at their deSTinations and home safe. I lQQk forward to meeting up on the next RTE.
hmmm there's a lack of smileys in this poST.
