While Mr M2 and I were turtling our way through natio, a whole bunch of riders started overtaking us... and for some odd reason, every rider that passed started waving. I was thinking... hmmm, what a friendly bunch. It wasn't until we got to Bald Hill did I realise they were all part of SR. Lol.
Anyway, we all stopped to chat at Bald Hill. I found out the ride was for the gang to ride to KV. Neither Mr M2 and I were keen until Mr R asked if we'd like to come along. The ride plan has now change and they were heading to Mac Pass. We were both initially quite hesitant as this meant that someone had to slow down and wait for us... In the end, after a few people suggested that this would be a good opportunity, we both decided to sign up for it... well, Mr M2 got dragged into it really.
Here's the ride route we did... http://g.co/maps/2zb84
We went through Mac Pass where there were a couple of pretty sharp hairpin turns... it was a really good experience considering my limited skills!! Also went through a bridge which was under water!! That was fun!! =) We then rode to Bowral and into Mittagong for lunch.
It was nice meeting a few new people. We stopped by at Yerrinbool for ice cream and made our way through the hume highway to Appin, Engadine and finally to Kirrawee where we stopped for Maccas. This was where everyone split off and headed home.
Overall, great experience for me. I learnt heaps and managed to put a few things into practice.
PS Big thanks to Mr D for waiting, Mr V for leading part 1 of the ride and giving me tips and Mr R who hung back the whole time at turtle speed and keeping me safe! =)
