Where did you ride today?

I know that crew, good to see you all again.

Took my BMW horns for a ride with their relatives in the Bay of Plenty BMW Owners Club. Covered nearly 400kms today through the South Waikato area. Te Kuiti, Otorohanga, Bennydale, Putararu most roads what many of you blokes call B roads. Heavy frost this morning so rugged up warm, throw in some fog along with damp shaded roads made for moments of excitement.
Those big GS's sure can get along modern suspension making them seem to just float along the road. I got to watch them all day as they were getting along a bit quicker than I'm used to and at times comfortable with.
Good blokes that enjoy their bikes all with interesting stories to share when we stopped for lunch or coffee.
Great day was had by all. Now it's off to the boozer to watch the All Blacks give it to France (the Rainbow Warrior bombers !!)

After weeks of wet, or frost/ice, or work related obstacles, and finishing some outside jobs today, the bike Gods aligned and I managed to get a ride in. Only 40kms, but a ride nonetheless.

Didn't really enjoy it, due to lichen on the road in shady areas and tractor-dropped mud all over the shop. Really need a few dry days, rather than one, I suspect.

Road conditions the same in Waikato yesterday Rob. Plenty of manure on the road at farmers cattle crossings.

Brisbane to Armidale in cool but clear weather via Kyogle Grafton and Gibraltar Range 10 degrees now and dropping.

Well done Chris. Armidale very cold, i slept there one time -6 degrees. Highest city in Oz. Great steaks but overpriced.

We rode to Tenterfield Saturday in pouring rain and 7deg c 🥶🥶🏍�🏍�💦💦
Bowls club was warm and welcoming new Chinese restaurant is truly old school, big serves and tasty fresh food.
Karaoke was very entertaining 😂😂😂
We got robbed in the rugby 🏉 🙄🙄😈😈.

Riding back to Brisbane today probably on the highway to avoid all the rain run off on the scenic roads, we're 1km above sea level in Tenterfield.

7° Luxury !!

Back home now to a balmy 20deg C.
Travelled on some back roads via Legume skirting around Warwick, spectacular views from Cunninghams Gap, Boonah for lunch then home.
Three days of riding 1051kms door to door.

Not today but yesterday, went to the annual Calne bike meet.  Must have been 5000 bikes there, just one shower at about 11 o'clock then it was quite warm.  Calne is a small town but it was rammed with people of all ages and persuasions, shit loads of kids and dogs.  Saw a few 14's, anyone from here?

[grog]

Just had a search Mick, they expected 10 thou bikes. Thats hard for an Aussie to imagine. We get 300 on a Xmas run and think its huge.

[Mick_J]

Could well have been well over 5000 bikes, they come and go all day long so the total could well be 10k.  I think it's the biggest free bike meet in the UK, possibly the biggest in Europe.

Cassington bike night might have you there mick-j, is held on last Monday in June. Tiny little village in Oxfordshire, this year an estimated 7000 bikes ,10,000 visitors. The place was rammed.

So glad we did Christmas in July last weekend. They're forecasting snow flurries in the ranges we rode through and places we stayed. ❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️
