The road out to Wollombi was free of any real traffic so we were able to stick as a group pretty much all the way. We also didn&#8217;t ride absurd speeds and are watching our speedos a lot more carefully these days. Sometimes we go mad but not as much I don&#8217;t think. The Putty is as good as ever and we could still chew up the tyres a bit. Nige was on his GS but even the knobbys held on for some impressive cornering. The Greygums was crowded as usual but managed to feed us all lickety split.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5654\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1460.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5654\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1460-420x314.jpg\" alt=\"We were actually a lot more animated than this.\" width=\"420\" height=\"314\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5654\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1460-420x314.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1460-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We were actually a lot more animated than this.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5655\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1461.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5655\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1461-420x314.jpg\" alt=\"I do feel marginalised at times but the cool menthol flavours are so worth it.\" width=\"420\" height=\"314\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5655\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1461-420x314.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_1461-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I do feel marginalised at times but the cool menthol flavours are so worth it.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The ride back through Broke and Wollombi was fun and of course we stopped at Jerry&#8217;s for more coffee.
