After my late start I made my way up the D'aguilar Highway to CJ's Bakery at Woodfor parking section.d and had a very nice sausage roll.
I then jumped back on the bike as the morning was warming up fast and soo the temps were over 30 °C.
As I climbed the range on Stanley River Rd the temperatures dropped a little and after a few pleasant bends at a reasonable clip, the GPS took me towards Mary Cairncross Park, and then down past Maleny Dairies and back towards Montville. Before I knew it I was sitting in stopped traffic waiting for over 5 minutes because they were resealing the intersection at the turn off to Montville.
At 9:40 am I pulled in to Montville and found a park just out the front of the Castle Glen shop.
As I was getting ready to go to Poet's Cafe and await the others Sabie turned up and asked if this was the
parking section.
So being close to 10 am and the heat climbing, Sabie and I went to the cafe and awaited IanB.
After a brief chat, IanB turned up and we ordered. This was awesome.
As was the view.
After a nice long chat and some beautiful food and drinks, we headed off to Noosa to Meet Candles for lunch. After an interesting ride down the ridge, we hit the slab to Eumundi (time was of the essence) and made it to Noosa a couple of minutes after 12 pm and parked up next to candles red ST1300.
After a quick change by Ian we headed into the SLSC to meet candles and enjoy the view, good conversation and epic stories and grand food.
Sabie had to disappear early to head off to work and at 1:30 pm, Candles informed us he had an appointment with a Real Estate agent, so we headed off.
Because the temp was still up in the low 30s IanB and I decided to head down the coast to keep with the sea breeze in our face.
Somewhere on David Low Way, IanB headed inland and I continued on down to Coolum before hitting the Sunshine Motorway towards home, then a quick side trip towards Kunda Park and the Bruce Hwy to home.
Fortunately I made it home before the hail storm hit. Unfortunately the car was at my wife's work and appears to have possibly been damaged. Oh well, that is what insurance is for!
