We finally had a clear Saturday in May for our ride ....... cool but exhilarating as we welcomed a few newbies, David's new BMW 1300 and our support vehicle ( restored MG) with John and Paul.
We headed off to Canungra for some hot food and a chat, Pete caught up with us on his cross over dirt bike.
After some good tucka at the "Outpost" (David agreed!!) we mounted
up for the ride up the mountain...the weather still held up thankfully as we know how treacherous and can get with rain on the mount..particularly on those metal cattle grids. As we made our way up the valley and start to go up the mountain, rounding the initial bends, we were confronted by large obstacles left by a friendly cow...the trick is to weave your way through successfully...and we all did well.
So here's a quick video of our run up the mountain, through so many changes in Vista, really awe inspiring.... those one lane roads with no guard rail really does keep you in touch with your own mortality. Some of the lads went on the forest high walk and a mandatory cup of coffee. It was then back down the mountain to the Alpaca farm for lunch on the awesome deck overlooking the valley.
With lunch over we all meandered off home via various means....only to confront some rain as we all made it home, thankfully not whilst we were on the mountain which can be treacherous.
So , one more amazing ride...got to stretch our legs, some unbelievable landscapes and as usual a great "Band of Bikers".
