Well, the MotoGP season ended with more of a whimper than a bang. The final showdown between the incumbent and the pretender was a bit of a damp squib when Martin had a brain fade that took him out of the race (and, incidentally, ruined what would … [Read more]
Snowy Ride Day 4
After a good night's sleep in Cooma, first thoughts were to consult BOM and see what the weather was going to do for our last day, the run home. All looked great, fine in the morning but with some showers coming in in the late afternoon. No problems, … [Read more]
Snowy Ride Day 3
Day 3 dawned sunny and dry, whoohoo. Note the difference between the same shot from the evening before.... ...and, after a Bright breakfast (the guy at the cafe hadn't heard that one before), we headed out of town to what was one of the … [Read more]
Snowy Ride Day 2
The hotel at Walwa offered a help-yourself continental breakfast so we fuelled up before our second day. And, speaking of fuelling up, the town offered a nice snapshot of how business is done in small country towns. There was a servo across the road … [Read more]

What a way to start the day
It's the last Sunday in the month today so we held our customary Brekkie Ride. I missed the last one due to my flu so it was great to get back out and do a group ride. There were plenty of other events on this weekend, too, Coffee and Cars at … [Read more]
How have the mighty fallen
Yes, it's me again. Still suffering from this flu and still nowhere near over it. It's now five weeks. Sheesh. No energy to do much, doctor says rest and drink plenty of fluids. OK, I'm doing that but it doesn't seem to be helping any. Oh, well, I do … [Read more]
