There are a few riders among the hearty brave lads (and ladesses) that make up COMCAR. Every so often, normally during non-sitting weeks, a ride is suggested and those hardy enough (for a winter's day) ride turn up.
Today's ride was to start at Sutton and head north to Gunning on the back roads, along the old Hume highway and Southern Rd eventually coming to Goulburn. There were 3 riders (Daryl, Bruce and Phil ) waiting at the Sutton bakery and I made the 4th.
A few foggy patches along the way (where the temp plummeted back toward 3 degrees, lots of wind turbines along the way. The length along the old Hume was an eye opener - considering that the freeway is relatively newish (20 years ?), really slow bends, tree lined. There were a few almost black ice sections which were interesting. As a newly returning rider, I can keep up the pace on the good bits of road but I am very slow on the twisty bits of road that I don't know. We stopped at Trappers Bakery at Goulburn for an early lunch but I was very pleasantly surprised by the offerings and the big open fire. I had chores to attend to in Canberra so I bid farewell and blasted down the free way to home. All up, about 250km and a great day for riding.
