Short ride Sunday

I met up with Marty at 9.15am Sunday and we headed for the hills in overcast conditions. After a stop and a magnificent hot chocolate at the Gellibrand store we headed for Lavers Hill, but pretty soon it got misty and damp. By Ferguson it was raining, so uncharacteristically, we turned around rather than "tip toe" through these winding roads in such slippery conditions. Back at Gelli there were some classic bikes - the best of which were a R90S BMW and a Vincent HRD.





I decided on a pit stop at the Otway Estate winery, where we ended up having bacon & eggs for lunch. As much as we both would have loved a Prickly Moses beer or a glass of Cab Sav we make it a rule never to drink and ride. The staff here are fantastic and really made us feel welcome. We spent the rest of the afternoon at Steve & Helen's in Colac, then made a quick run via the Cape Otway Road back to Geelong.


All up approx 250 ks and the new suspension on the VFR felt great.
