A 700km mid winter round trip to hang with Famous Rog. A road bike with a rear tyre some would call bald. Back road short cuts. Wet clay. A throttle hand numb from the cold. What possibly could go wrong......

WOT? The same tyre as we saw a couple weeks ago? Or do you have bald rears on most of your bikes?

A bit of a slow start from Bayswater waiting for the weather to improve. At 9am, it was time to head off…
Lots of photo stops through the Black Spur…
Pull over, take a photo or two to give the slow parade another head start…
Encouraging signs as I took the back way into Alexandra.
Nope. Spoke too soon. Lake Eildon is out there, somewhere…

Skyline Rd was great fun until the wet clay. Oh well, grip is over rated anyway…
Back down by the water.
I took a ride down into the lake.
Riding back up was err…interesting, who would have thought the old ZRX would be so capable standing up on the pegs slippin n scrambling back to the bitumen…

The suburbs of Mansfield are spreading…
A fantastic free ride over the hill to Whitfield.
I was seeing double by the time I stopped for lunch at the new café in Moyhu.
A chance for some flat tracking on the short cut to Chateu d Rog in Myrtleford…

Sunday morning.
A slow ride into Bright to catch up for Sunday coffee with the militant hoon wing of the Alpine Rider’s Ulysses…
Some neat bikes.

I waved goodbyes at Myrtleford and made for home.
I stopped to ponder if like in maths a double negative made a positive…
…it’s OK to shoot swimmers or you can only shoot whilst swimming….
Lots of water not in Lake Nillacootie
A relatively predictable final ride for home.
I did notice that Buck has opened his Country Bakehouse in Yarck.
