The SSB came out to wet tyres all but 3 and it did not rain and those three took the podium everyone else had to come back in and change tyres. SBK was wet. Bulleua won again.

We had breakfast and packed and were on the road about 8.30am. First stop was Moroll North at the Strzelecki Bakery. Made the call not to do Dargo this time and headed to Bainsdale for lunch then up to Omeo arriving about 3.00pm. We booked in, unpacked and headed out along the Omeo hwy to see if we could find Darren gel seat that he lost off Kalebs crashed KTM on the way to GP last year. Using the pin Kaleb sent we located the spot and climbed down the hill to find it. We were delighted. We came back to a nice dinner at the pub and off to bed. Room at Snug as a Bug was not as good as the one we had had on the way to GP.

Big day today. Rode down the gravel through Benambra amd the Nariel Valley. There is 65k of gravel. The first 30 is very good the second 30 not so good. Not slippery just rough  particularly on a very loaded bike. In Corryong we caught up with Kim from IBA for breakfast. Which was very nice. Then we headed to Gundagai for lunch at the Nigara and out on to the Hume for the afternoon. We arrive at Phil and Sarah about 6.30pm. Great to see them again.

Great the see them yarned and walked to the beach before dinner. Will be here two nights.

Followed Bruce up about the tap at Sunita. Went to bed pretty early.

More driving in the beautiful Scottish countryside to our breakfast spot Tinto Hills Tearooms near Thankerton. Here I met a motorcyclist enjoying a ride and a Sunday morning coffee. Really think I need to come back and ride here. Next we visited Hadrain's wall or the ruins of part of it. It was the Romans Defence line across English to keep the Scots out. Originally 4 metres high what we saw was part of the foundations. The view of the English countryside was picturebook idyllic. Next we went to Lockerbie to see and reflect on the event of the Lockerbie bombing where a bombed PanAm jet literally fell out of the sky in 1988. The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
