Well I hope everyone got home safely after a very typical Melbourne weather day....pouring rain, clouds, blue sky and sunshine and of course some strong wind thrown in....
Thank you Lisa for organising this ride and also bringing the "Miranda" theme with your cohort Tufan..well done you both looked mystical in your white attire walking with all the rest of us in our black...lol....
Superb picnic spread followed by a much needed walk up the rock before finally parting ways with our Geelong crew at Gisborne....
Looking forward to seeing some of the many pics that were taken today... great day and fantastic company....
ps For all those concerned Tanya only ended up with a few bumps and scratches and a slightly bruised ego but her bike will need some TLC...after a strong coffee she was able to ride home with partner Simon and after today our corporate sponsor Joe with be busy passing on the corporate sponsor discount to a couple of our members. We hope you are back on the road again soon.
Kym & I will be there too and will meet you all at Maca's cnr Holmes & Albion Sts. At 9.15.
Alessandro I think Clare is keen to come back early also so I am sure you will have some company.
