Chilly start to the day which seemed to keep most in bed. You all missed out on a most excellent day. Fine, sunny, calm, very little traffic. So it was David & Cindy, Ugo & Helen, Chris G, Fred and myself bringing up the rear. Round and round and round we went all tucked into a nice little bunch to Glengarry only to find Bushy's Bakery closed, so across to Rosedale for morning tea. The hot chocolate was excellent, but I think the girls preferred the heater more. From Rosedale, back roads to Seaspray because we could, then more backroads to Yarram for lunch. Some really excellent single track roads and narrow bridges from Longford to Seaspray until back onto the Sth Gippy just east of Woodside. I think we saw all of 3 cars in that 60 odd Km stretch. From Yarram up the Hyland Hwy (fun, twisty, deserted) past Loy Yang, Churchill, Yinnar and Thorpdale to pop out at Trafalgar. Short Hwy run to Yarragon where we stopped at the Yarragon Ale House just for something different. I must admit to having a (just 1) Honey Wheat Beer. Very good. From there we all found our way home. Thank you to David for the planning, certainly not the shortest ways between points, some really outstanding roads and scenery, thanks to all those that came along for their company, and thanks to all those that didn't. It made the queues very short and corner marking unnecessary

Sorry I missed today's ride as was bed/lounge ridden with some kind of plague like manifestation that has taken up residence in my body. Thanks for leading the ride Dave I was looking forward to it.

David Thanks for the ride on Sunday, sorry we left the ride at Rosedale but the cold got the better us. From Dean's report sounds like we missed the best part of the day. Thanks Again Dave and Deano for being TEC

Thanks Dave it was a great ride even though it was a bit chilly. You gave the spyder a good workout. It's a shame more of our fellow Ulyssians dont turn up after all the hard work that the ride leaders put in to make these days a great event
