May - A brisk & awesome ride up the range

Well May's ride was fantastic with just a hint of Winter....but a with a winter coat, some long-johns and heated grips hardly notice ( just kidding). It was good to see Leon & Maggie on a Kwaka and Murray & his big boulevard along.
















................and was this Ewan McGregor doing the intro to the "Long Way Across"?

Riding off in clear skies we made away along the freeways to Blacksoil, picking a couple of additional riders for the ride up through Esk, with a what was suppose to be a short stop at Wivenhoe Dam...... but a rear puncture changed that...but despite all our repair gear couldn't fix so it was RACQ to the rescue




....nice try Ken!



Off to Esk and the obligatory stop at the Bakery....a great coffee and pie.....Pete even got stuck into the devonshire Tea




Left Esk with a wonderful ride up to Perseverence Dam, site of some of Dave Batest great army memories?



Then Lunch at the Farmers Arm hotel....we can certainly recomend this great pub
