With the days being short this time of year in Gippsland the time to get a ride in is a bit harder to come bye, so when I finished work at 1pm of Friday I headed home on the bike did a rapid change into some bike riding gear.

I had an arrangement with two work colleagues to have a steak sandwich for lunch once that obligation was satisfied I headed down the Princess Highway at 10 past 2. At 3pm I rendezvoused with my brother on his Guzzi at Traralgon South for a ride through the winding hill roads to Balook at the Tarra - Bulga National Park on the Grand Ridge Road. Just enough time for a cuppa at a Cafe bit of a chat and then a ride down the hill past Callignee this area was devastated by wildfire a few years ago that killed many people in Victoria some of you might remember the photo of the fireman giving a Koala Bear a drink from a water bottle. With the setting sun it was time to head home a refill of the tank 10l @ $1.58 l and then the run home arriving at 6:20pm as i rode up the driveway well and truly looking forward to the wood fire and some warmth 186 km and home in time for dinner. Happy wife, happy life and a good ride as well.

Sorry no photos

Noroomtomove, you're a lucky chap, but it is time to get you a camera. We'd all like to see photos of those great Gippsland roads.

Have just received approval from the Minister of Finance hope to get a camera for the bike from Hardly Normal tomorrow.

Had to work from Sun up till Sun down today (7-5:30) no time for a ride or shopping.

Have enjoyed reading about your State side adventure.

Regards

I enjoyed your post. I'm glad the Minister has finally come through and approved funding for your camera. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Yes great news about the camera noroomtomove.

Noroomtomove, I noticed with interest that it cost you $15.80
for 10 liters of gas. That's almost $6.00 per gallon. Yikes!!!
I wonder how that stacks up with our friends in Europe? It's about $2.85
for premium fuel right now in Georgia.

R4N that's about US$11.88 for 10 litres or 2.64 gallons. Isn't that about $4.50/gallon? Still expensive though. I recall the US has pretty low fuel prices compared to the rest of us.

G'day noroomtomoove. Good ride. Did you take your coffee at the Inline 4 café? Coming back from the WSBK this year I rode the Grand Ridge Road from Mirboo North. I was out of luck with the weather though. Started out fine but quickly changed to rain and fog. Somewhere along the way I became "temporarily unsure of my position" and I did a lot of dirt before getting back on the Highway.








Does any of the above look familiar? If not, get that camera working.

Cheers mate.
