mid WEEK RidE

The weather did not look promising but a large group (mostly not bringing any wet weather gear...) assembled at Base Camp Coffee at North Lakes ready to tackle a repeat of Mark Mustchin’s December ride (which sadly only had one other taker). Up the ever popular Campbell’s Pocket Road to Mt Mee and heading down to Woodford we then hung a right and then another right to Commissioners Flat Road where we were stopped by a downed tree just before Peachester (must just have happened as we were first in line), blocking both lanes. The cavalry leapt off bikes and firstly dragged and then chopped (thanks to Duncan’s trusty tomahawk he carries in his topbox!) to get it off the road. In no time we were back on the road and now getting damp, prompting a stop at the Peachester cafe for a coffee and donning of wet weather gear. The final push to Sandstone Point Hotel near the Bribie Island bridge was dry but cloudy leaving those in the wet weather gear in a semi-sauna state. A very pleasant lunch under the trees at Sandstone Point was had. Thanks to Mark Mustchin for a top ride. The definite benefit of a mid-week ride is the lack of other traffic, so all you worker-bees how about taking a well earned day off and come along to the next one - you won’t regret it!
