Having just recovered from Covid and after 10 days of testing "positive" I finally bought up a negative test this morning, just in time to make the most of a wife free weekend...
I had been hoping to do a ride to "Dargo", a town I hadn't visited since I was a teenager but with the weather being a little bit "iffy" I wasn't actually sure I'd end up there.
Heading over the ranges near Mirboo Nth I ran into some drizzle but decided to press on anyway and hope for the best.
Thankfully the weather cleared and while the roads were damp in patches, it stayed mostly clear with just a couple of spits hitting the screen as I made my way up into the high country.
Being a weekend and with Dargo being a very popular destination with the 4WD brigade I was pleasantly surprised with the lack of traffic.
Unfortunately I arrived a whisker late to have a counter lunch so had to make do with a hot chocolate and a packet of potato chips...oh well, maybe next time...
With nothing else planned I turned around and headed for home...unsure which way I'd end up going but finally settled on heading to Rosedale (via Briagolong and Tinamba) with a half-baked plan to stop at the local bakery. Naturally that didn't eventuate as, by the time I arrived it was closed!
Oh well, the bike needed fuel so after a brief stop I again headed for home, this time via Gormandale, Yarram, Foster and Leongatha.
By now I definitely had numb bum so was quite happy to arrive home safe and sound after some 540 + kilometres and, most importantly, those covid cobwebs had cleared!
