We set off to ride through Bungendore travelling along the Kings Hwy to the Braidwood - Goulburn Rd turnoff at Manar.
We had somehow lost Andrew along the way - he had texted me he was returning home due to wanting to keep his bike clean as a possible buyer was expected that afternoon.
The group travelled along in heavy drizzle winding our way towards Tarago when we were surprised to find road works for about a kilometre. We traversed the rough dirt/muddy parts of the road along the section under repairs.
We arrived at Tarago parking in front of the Loaded Dog Hotel before heading into the dining area where we had reserved a number of tables for our group. We settled down to enjoy a great feed and a cool beverage with a mixture of true and tall stories being shared over lunch.
We were joined by Ian Paterson who travelled out from Canberra to join us for lunch and Tracey who joined us on her way back from visiting her parents in the Blue Mountains for the weekend.
Then we were joined by Mike and Sharon Kelly and Mark Mitchell who were returning from the Black Dog ride as the weather down the coast was only getting wetter. We packed up and said our good byes and I waited for everyone to get going before heading off towards home.
I would like to thank everyone who joined us on a great day out even though the weather let us down a touch.
Mick
