Good cause though. Will there be anyone collecting eggs at point of origin by chance? saves me bringing a backpack for the ride. But if I need too, so be the case...

c'mon good weather!

I have saddle bags on my bike, so you can put your eggs there.
I see you are a fellow Fat Biker on Facebook, look at my profile pic and you will recognise me at the ride.

by the sounds of things behind the gas station there, so I presume I'd be heading to the BK/Gas station end ond looking for the bikes from there making my way back towards Garrisons. I'm going to presume the turnout is good enough to be clear which is a where I need to be

Nasty ...you going to head in via Eastern Arterial I presume? I'll be heading in via Eastern arterial, left into Grafton, taking the back entrance to Sylvia park and making my way around the back to come out by the back of the gas station....

Didn't make it out today not keen on new roads in the rain, just yet! Fingers crossed the weather picks up.

Should have jumped in the car with your helmet on, that's what Miss D, Gwinch and I did - Gwinch's bike is waiting on parts and D doesn't yet have cordura pants.
Nasty and Stickchick went with this option also

yup wet indeed. I rolled up, not many did the ride, but quality not quantity

shame on the weather aspects of the day, as it would have been great to see a great sized turnout. Thanks to the Salv army for the hot drink and a bite to eat at the end of the ride. I'm in for next year, weather can't really get too much worse
