Easter Weekend

We used to have an Easter pilgrimage to a little country town called Bathurst until the bloody do gooders decided that motorcycle racing on the mountain was dangerous. So instead there's a 6 hour car race on for the wine sipping latte mob but I'll probably just grab a beer and a comfortable chair and watch the grass grow.

We lost an institution with the Easter Bathurst races so what's next to go? IOM or maybe all road racing.
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

Having been raised in a religious family, I'll be following Jesus's example at this time of year by going out on Friday and not coming back until Sunday  :notworthy:

Very good Red.  The missus is still laughing.  :cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Went to Bathurst at Easter a couple of times. That was a race meeting and a half.
Quite an experience for a young Kiwi. All the names we read about were there. We were there. Great days.

Doing the chores today & bit of bike prep for our big 4 day ride next Friday.
Then heading off tomorrow morning with Mrs Sweaty (she loves that name) in the car ☹️ to Swansea (no, not the UK one) to spend a couple of days at a friends place with a small group of friends for some drinks, swimming & a bit of fun 🍻🎉
Have a great Easter folks.

So far I am watching the rain radar and hoping the rain keeps teetering out over the Ardennen. With luck I'll take a nice relaxed ride tomorrow at 14°, dry roads, and sunshine. Stop by my favorite cafe, sit in the sun on the terrace with a great cup of coffee and a Belgian rice vlam. Then head to the abbey of Val-Dieu and stash a bottle or two of their Brune Beer (brewed the same way since 1216 A.D) under the 14's seat (these 0.75 bottles fit nicely). Them Catholics do have their store open every day on Easter. That makes sense as historically beer has always been flowing on the holy days :cheers:

Smoking a 3.5 kg ham for easter at my back yard. It takes maybe 12-14 hours..
And waiting for the summer, still -10°C. Bike is ready but it's too cold and slippery..

Thanks Andre, beer flows on holy days. Might just have to follow that tradition. Best religious idea ive ever heard.
