After going over Stranger, packing, checking it all again all the weeks of planning was going into ACTION,  :runyay
Thursday morning up and left home 4.45  As planned I met our NZ member  Rob (http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy22/Johnny_Whitehead/2015-03-19%2009.20.50_zpscbhiwzbe.jpg) (http://s774.photobucket.com/user/Johnny_Whitehead/media/2015-03-19%2009.20.50_zpscbhiwzbe.jpg.html) 
and BIKERJIMBOB Jim at Windsor 6am,with a full tank,,  there was a bit of fog so after a quick welcome to OzSTocrallya  for Rob and hi to Jim again, I told them our planned ride. Putty Rd > Muswellbrook >Scone for COFFEE, Uralla 452ks,fuel and lunch then easy ride to Toowoomba via Tenterfield 410k's arriving  6> .630pm an easy ride,,  :grin
The Putty is 1 of my favorite roads but with patchy fog and loose gravel on the Singleton end "TwiSTy's" after a 'spraypatch' trucks been though, I took it fairly easy, I'm not used to leading a ride.. and had to think abit more about 'Leading Responsibilty'  o:)
As we pulled into McCafe I spotted the firST OzSTOC jackets so far arriving at the pumps, saaz and   :fp his mate, so they joined Us for coffee (http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy22/Johnny_Whitehead/2015-03-19%2009.20.17_zpslbeccd65.jpg) (http://s774.photobucket.com/user/Johnny_Whitehead/media/2015-03-19%2009.20.17_zpslbeccd65.jpg.html)

 after seeing saaz n  :think1 mate off headed off to the coaST , we then headed to Tamworth, a quik  :fp  oops I've lost them  a Uturn found them at the Golden Guitar, quik photo op,, then Uralla for fuel 452ks, and lunch, at the White Rose , another good feed :like ,
Next STop was STretch and Pee in Tenterfield followed by a STop at the border for pic and briefing on HWP in the area
