Beware of the Easter Bunnies.  They're out in force on the roads and they're deadly.
Be sure to give the grandies a ride on the back.  They'll remember grand dad as the king of cool!   :thumbs
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Have a great time mate. Stay safe.


Don't worry about the double demerit points thingy - time will fly by and you'll get them back in no time.     ;-*

So I left last Thursday Morning and headed thru Dubbo and landed in the town of Dunedoo and tracked down the haunt of the legendary home made lamb pie  WOW: Seriously to die for after eating copious amounts of said pie  WOW: :hatwave


Then down the Hunter to arrive at East Maitland, after a leisurely 630kms, to have my future riders clamber over Grandpa's bike





I came out in the morning to find another bike had been parked up with mine - A sign of respect  :wink1

The view from dinner



Then it was Easter


My stash

The Sunday 630km ride home to find TDing in town just as I got back
