Adz goes barking mad on his 'Welcome to Winter' ride

Sunday 20 June 2010

Around 20 tourers decided to (mis)place some trust the the BOM weather radar and head up the Black and Reefton spurs. Our riding took in a variety of road surfaces: bitumen, concrete, gravel, and bark!

It takes more than miserable weather to make the Tourers miserable! We belted along the wet roads to the warm and welcoming fireplace of our lunchtime destination in Buxton.

There were a couple of minor "Oooopses!" on the day: Max dropped his BMW while negotiating a corner, and David W dropped his CB250 while negotiating a petrol station. Fortunately no major damage (or fiery explosions) resulted in either case!
