OK... back from my shopping, and to the task in hand... Gary left Grafton around 50 mins ago,
and is climbing towards Glen Innes. Great road through there. Should arrive Glen Innes around 1.00pm

12.49pm. In Glen Innes now. Only a 60k run to Guyra from Glen Innes... I guess he will take a break there.

Hmmm.... can anyone see a pattern emerging here? Maybe he is just refuelling at the servo that the bike obscures?

Nope,  not this time of year.

I'm also traveling with Sean and a large group of bikes as far as Canberra.
The mysterious stop before Grafton was a refuel stop. The other stops were Harley stops. :grin

The run up the range was good, would have been better if a Harley wasn't in front.

Dinner tonight at the Longyard Bar to meet up with the Nth Qld contingent for Wall to Wall.


Cheers,
Gary

Riding through Guyra with about thirty bikes and :think this is ST2UP's Home and lo and behold I get a call from Chris. He'd been at an intersection waiting to enter when a particular ST caught his eye. :grin
