Australia Day (26th Jan 99) ride

 

This ride was a little ambitious for us because of the very steep mountain pass. Most of us had brakes on the rear only which made it difficult to pull up. John's brake shoes smoked and melted away by the end which didn't help but considering the speed he went (around 80 k/hr plus) it's not surprising.

Now is this thing going to hold together?? Now is this thing going to hold together??

 
Now this is how you ride it! Now this is how you ride it!

 
Getting ready to go.  

 
Taking a break.  
Nice scenery. Nice scenery. The picture doesn't show it but the road is quite steep.

 



The trip took us starting from South Riana down the mountain pass and along past Gunns Plains.
