Saturday ride to Byford Bakery, the weather has been rather warm where we live and today there was a shower of rain overnight which made things a tad more humid than I like.

Bit warm, but I had to go into the city anyway so taking a bike and a breakfast detour was too tempting.

36.8 when I looked at midday ... it was a warm Thursday ride,

Highest I saw here today was 32.7 after I got home.

It felt warm in bike gear earlier but it wasn't hot enough to spoil the fun.

38 deg at home, sure i saw 41 on the gauge in Perth cbd. 25% RH but still too hot to ride

Sorry, I'm washing my hair.

Still very much winter here and it takes a bright sunny day to get me motivated.

Yesterday looked good though and I was struggling to remember having been anywhere on the GTR since my return from Europe. The GSX and Z have had short runs over the last couple of months so it was surely the turn of the big blue 'un.

I had  really good run out on my default "don't know where I want to go" route and then extended it to Hopton Castle to walk a lap of the ruins. From there I had an uncontrollable urge to visit Leintwardine and then before I'd got stuck into the ride home I was distracted by an historic priory gatehouse and church at Bromfield.



As nice day out and although nothing came from the sky the roads had been wet from field run-off in places, so a further hour had to be spent waving the hosepipe and sponge at it when I got home.

Always a joy to be out on a bike though, cleaning is the price you pay.

6 bikes and 7 riders turned up this morning. We pulled up at MtG Cafe at 7:30 & a rough guesstimate possibly 100 bikes parked there and literally no spaces to utilise. So we decided to head to Fernvale for breakfast. I haven't ridden MtG a lot recently and will be avoiding it in future. The reason is all previous speed limits which made it a reasonable ride have been reduced a further 20kmh. So making what was a pleasantly challenging ride basically a license losing prospect in many areas. There was no Police presence today however many riders complained about blitzes being conducted and roadworthy issues being investigated if they didn't ping you for speeding. It's all about revenue raising in Queensland and the Police are complicit in these actions by being compelled to write a particular amount of tickets per day to finance their patrols basically.
We witnessed some very fast guys testing their skill level without concern as they were obviously fully in control of their bikes. The sound of a big bore bike nearing the rev limiter is exhilarating to say the least.
Fernvale was not busy when we arrived but an hour later it was getting very busy. There's a few roads in and out but one main road.
Some headed back over the mountains. We headed straight back home to Mt. Cotton through a handful of quite intense showers.
A wet week forecast here it is the wet season.
I'm planning on heading to Kenilworth next weekend if you're interested in joining us pm me 🙏

480k ride to Boddington then Beverley then home .. warm but tolerable unless stopped waiting on road works.

I haven't been over Glorious in years and doubt I will if it's gotten even worse.

I should be without adult supervision at home this weekend so will let you know if I feel the urge to head for Kenilworth.

I stopped doing Nebo, Glorious, Mee a few years back.
Lower speed limits, cops looking for victims, vehicle inspections, too many folk having dramas, even locals causing problems.

Now I only use them as a way to get somewhere in a legal vehicle on weekdays. They aren't a place I go to enjoy bikes.
