When Chris Dyball plans a ride, every little detail is covered. And so it was with Sunday's ride to Yea, where recent flooding had rendered some of the roads, not too safe. A good sized group including Peter & Leslie on their Kwaka GT 1400 Sports Tourer, had assembled for the obligatory coffee at Baxter. Brian Burling came to farewell us on our ride as he is still recuperating from recent surgery, but we are sure he will soon be back on his bike (de facto HONDA ST), before too long. But Yea was not to be our destination.

So" Plan B" came into play, and Chris led us all on a most enjoyable and "easy paced" ride that all of could enjoy. usual route to Poowong then up towards Drouin, turning off at Seaview and down to Yarragon for a break for coffee.

Then we headed up the hills again towards Mirboo North and on to Boolarra for another longish "lunch" break. re-mounting we looped around again through Mirboo North for refuelling before heading home via Leongatha and Korrumburra before our final break and farewells at Tooradin.

Some of the roads Chris took us were a "first" for most of us, with spectacular scenery, green countryside and full dams....!!!!!!

Everyone agreed that with the dry weather, fine conditions, well planned ride and easy paced stages, had all contributed to a most enjoyable day.

Thanks Chris................. well done.
