Homeward bound we'll follow the railway track back to Wallan, Whittlesea, to South Morang for a final coffee and good byes.

    Another great ride and no rain whoohooo....and Leonie hmmmm you really do have me thinking about heated grips....although my hands didn't get to cold today...lol...especially as the sun came out in the end.

    Amazing country roads and not as much gravel as we were expecting...nice mix...

    Hi from Bangkok. Greg, try to drop by the old Kilmore Tearooms and Bakery towards the North end of town on the right. It's a total step back in time experience. Delightful. Get the gang into one of the back rooms with untouched 1930s decor. The toilets are a giggle too. Have fun on the bit of dirt. Wish I could join you but we have a a lot of catching up to do with dogs, friends and family. Have a great ride. (Oh, very stylish ride icon)
