A cool, over-cast day with very little wind and beautiful scenery should have attracted more than 12 riders. Someone forgot to remind Tony that we were having an early start. However Daryl kindly stayed behind and waited for him, and anyone else. It didn't take long for the two to catch up with us. At times the road was busy but the drivers were usually courteous and our leader Linden often removed us from the road so the processions could pass. After a toilet stop at Willow Grove, in case the toilets were shut at the dam, we glided down the hill to the picnic ground at the dam, where the toilets were open.
Linden's dad Max came over to check us out as he lives near by.
The scenery towards Trafalgar was magnificent and the terrain mostly down hill.
Bruce tried to turn in the gravel on the side of the road and decided he wanted a closer look at the beautiful country.
The farming people, like Eileen, were over excited by the rural environment and explained why silage has such a rotten smell. Something I always wondered about.
We rode from North Canal Road to Waterloo Road and when we arrived in Moe we stopped at Apex Park to consume the rest of the hot water and slices Noelene (Darryl's better half) had made for us.
One of the nicest rides we have done. A wonderful experience.
