Scrounger’s Solo Queensland Adventure
Rode to Ashmore, Qld to watch my son play for NSW Country Rugby. Left Thursday and headed north via Bucketts Way, Gloucester, Walcha – stopped at Armidale for night 1. Day 2 continued north via Guyra, Glen Innes – coffee at Tenterfield. From Tenterfield I turned east and aimed for Casino – that is an awesome ride! From Casino to Lismore, north to Bangalow then up the highway to Nerang exit & out to Ashmore. The return journey was broken up with a stop at relatives at Sandy Beach – including a pretty hairy & cold night ride from Ashmore to Grafton for coffee & then to Sandy Beach at 9.00pm. Final day was just straight down the highway – feeling pretty tired and over it, back home at 3.00pm Sunday.

Things to Consider
We REALLY need to get something organised for the holidays, we may need to have a meeting somewhere. Anyone with specifics, please post your ideas under the Ride Calendar.
NIGE ‘Day at the Races’ will also fall during the school holidays as will as a re-scheduled ‘State of Origin’ camping and fishing adventure.
Briz will be on his ‘Brizzer Goes Bush’ adventure. Keep up to date with his progress through the tab at the top of this page.
Visited the new ‘Mt White Cafe’ today, it certainly is different.

Scrounger amidst hundreds of bikes.
Scrounger and Nige went for a quiet coffee at Jerry’s only to be inundated by every Harley within 100kms.
It was still a beautiful day and a pleasant ride.
