First Time:

Gidday All, Hmmmm Featherstone and back this afternoon. Enjoyed the ride immensely, as well as a good bowl of soup at the top on the way.

Suppose I can't forget the date now eight,seven,six. Thought about that on the way back, 'Hey Buck what's the date....etc I said to myself.'

Also said out loud "I'll Be Back". Thoroughly enjoyed my first ride over there.

Beautiful day for a ride over the hill. Sun is shinning. Life is good :yes:

Nice one Buck! I didn't manage to get out today and I am feeling the withdrawal symptoms. Definitely will head out tomorrow. And it's looking good for the commute next week as well. Which is good since I have a lecture at 8am before work now that Uni is back....

Watch that the 'Takas aren't closed.

That slip has slipped some more and the Hill is closed tonight.

Not clearing it until tomorrow as it is slipping still.
