The weather was still looking a bit dubious on Sunday but it turned out to be perfect biking weather.

We had two new riders on Sunday, Welcome Todd (Big Blue Suzuki) and Sean (Suzuki GS500F).

Others riders joining us at Newtown were; Emilio (Ducati GT1000), Brad (Yamaha R1), Jon (Kawasaki ZX10), Stephan (Kawasaki GTR1400), Peter (BMW R1200GS Adventure), Mark BMW K1200R, Richard (Suzuki GSX600) and me (BMW R1200GS). We had a pretty good run to Loftus Oval where we were joined by Thierry (BMW K1200GT). There was a group of bikers with vintage bikes who seemed pretty interested in Todd’s big blue Suzuki.

We continued on to Bald Hill getting a pretty good run through the National Park where Johan (Honda VFR800) was waiting. He was pretty excited at his bike featuring in the latest issue of “Performance Bikes” and will be available to autograph copies at time to be advised. Noel (Honda Blackbird) finally caught up with us here.

After time to take in the scenery (and indeed there was some very good scenery), we headed down the hill for coffee at Stanwell Park. Peter, Mark, Richard and Todd had to head back to Sydney, the rest of us continued to Kiama for lunch. Our route took us to Helensburgh, passing a few members of Sydney Spokes along the way, and along the Old Princes Highway. We continued via Mt Ousley Road and the Freeway to Albion Park detouring inland via Jamberoo to Kiama. For the first time in living memory I wasn’t held up by any cars!

We stopped for lunch at the Black Rock Café where it paid to get your order in early.

We headed back in a couple of different groups, most headed directly up the Princes Highway. I followed Johan and Thierry to Shellharbour although I lost them at a couple of sets of traffic lights.

Our next ride is on Sunday 15 March heading to Robertson. I need a volunteer to lead the ride as I will be heading back from my charity ride in Tasmania that day. (Sponsors still appreciated hint hint)
