The weather was infinitely better this Sunday, with 11 of us lining up for a good day out. It looked like a BMW club ride with two lonely Triumphs in the number of bikes ! And included Jack with his brand new GS1250 (see photo), after 6 years on the old one. I believe he negotiated a good deal !
We cruised up the Maroondah Highway and turned off for a spin up and over Murindindi, and into Yea for morning tea (and the usual queue in the busy bakery).
After leaving Yea we enjoyed the sweepers of Whar.....whatsy road, through Alexandra, and up over Skyline Road to Eildon. Then the twisty road into Jerusalem Creek, with Lake Eildon looking quite full. The bistro menu was not that inviting so a consensus resulted in riding onto Buxton, for a 'famous Buxton burger' (6 of us, with several riders peeling off along the way).
We had a fairly clear ride over Black Spur, with riders heading different directions home. Most of us got back in Melbourne just before a round of rain showers hit.
So a good day of camaraderie on a good variety of roads, with good warm weather thrown in. Does not get much better than that !
