Thursday 19th March - Mt Beauty to Jindabyne
Another stunning ride, but this time across the Snowy Mountains.
This trip just keeps on getting better. Massive mountains, ferny gullies and esxciting twisting roads. We needed to stop at Albury so Steve could get some advice on a miss that his bike has developed. He has got some new plugs and instruction on how to reset the computer, and that will be his job for tomorrow. We have a rest day tomorrow so we have bookin in for two nights. Again we are near the water on sites overlooking Lake Jindabyne. It's been a glorious day with bright sun and mild riding conditions. We have jsut come back from buying our groceries, and tea tonight it spagetthi bog, and apple pie and cream, all washed down with a white wine. We won't be going hungry yet.
Wednesday 18th March - Bairnsdale to Mt Beauty
WOW, WOW, WOW. God who made the mountains has got together with the folk who build roads and both have consulted with motorcyclists in the construction details of todays ride.
Today was STUNNING. 197 km of twisting, winding roads with the most stunning of mountain scenery. Drag out your maps and have a look! We took it quite steady and had lots of photo stops, and met with another motorcyclist doing the run was well. The last 3o km leg from Bright to Mt Beauty was across the Tawonga Gap, and we gave it a bit of stick through there, as the road was just crying out to be ridden with "vigour". Our camp at Mt Beauty was on the banks of a river, with the tents just ten feet from the water, and we were serenaded all night by the gurgling stream. We shared out dinner and drinks with Greg from Coffs Harbour, was was exploring the area as well. He thought his $8 share for drinks, meal and entertainment (us) was good value. We were all very tired and in bed by 9.30, a very respectable time for old men.
