A modest group of 13 riders presented for a most pleasurable ride. All the threatening bad weather failed to happen. Lyndon was supposed to be the support, but instead she made her partner Peter drive the car so she wouldn't miss out on the ride. Mattingley Hill was no problem being in the morning part of the ride. The was then a slight detour from the main road along Jeeralang North Road to Church Road. We stopped for lunch at the pretty Mathison Park. Darryl had been a gymnastics instructor in a past life and tried to demonstrate the use of the horizontal bars. I don't think the exercise was supposed to involve crashing flat on the back. Erik tried the monkey bars. There was a loud thump and he was also flat on his back. After lunch we took the bike track along the side of Lake Hyland bringing us to Switchback Road. Tony wanted his photo taken and possibly put in the paper as his wife is yet to be convinced that he actually goes on these rides. We didn't stop at the pondage, instead we went north along Nadanbouschs Road to Brodribb Road. After a brief rest at Kernot Hall we cruised under the highway then beside the river to Crinigan Road and onto the Old Melbourne Road, with a nice tail wind, arriving in Traralgon at the West end of Kay Street. Some rides can be perfect and this was one.
