In a first for Roadrunners, we had 3 Peters but no Marks (he turned up later to lunch)

The skies were threatening rain but it held off and kept the temperature down. We also decided to park European bikes on one side of the road and Japanese bikes on the other.

There was a big turnout at Newtown and we welcomed three new riders; Paul (BMW F800GS), Peter (Honda CBR 250) and Craig (Suzuki B-King).

Returning regulars included; Sean (Trimph Sprint ST), Rowan (Honda VFR800), Harry (Honda VFR800), Thierry & Peter (BMW K1200GT), Noel (Honda Blackbird), Luke (BMW K1200S), Ed (Ducati 1098), Sebastian (BMW F800ST), Stephan (Kawasaki GTR1400), Jon (Suzuki Hyabusa), Johannes (Moto Guzzi), Peter & Tony (BMW R1200GS Adventure), James & Kob (BMW R1200GS)

Rowan decided to scare us all by telling us that double demerit points had already begun, although we later confirmed they don't start until Christmas Eve. This didn't stop the Highway Patrol from being out in force, with several sightings. Wet se off for Berowra, taking a few different routes, with everyone but Stephan making it there. Stephan was last sighted heading off to Windsor on the M2, later finding a wormhole taking him to the Royal National Park. A reliable source confirmed the possible existence of trade along the way.

After checking out the white leathered eye candy at Berowra, we headed to Mt White for coffee and scenery. Johannes farewelled us here.

With our caffeine fixes satisfied we headed for Rozelle, again by a variety of different routes for our regular Christmas lunch at the Bald Rock Hotel, where we were joined by Rowan's Mark (back from walking the furchild) and Johan.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care and see you on the road in 2010. Our first ride of 2010 will be on Sunday 16 January heading to Austimer for lunch and a swim.
