Wesley’s Impromptu Tuesday Ride

[pspencer]

Picking a window of opportunity this week for a ride was successfully done by Wes today. Quick phones calls and even quicker getting the riding gear on and riding to Ascot Shell had Wes, Brian 5 and Peter heading up the Tonkin to head towards Toodyay. The Toodyay Kid, also known in some circles as Swampy, was visiting his tooth mechanic so was a non starter.
Off the Tonkin onto Gnangara, West Swan Rds and the GNH got us into Brigadoon to head towards Gidgegannup and the curvaceous O'Brien Rd. No traffic, no rain, slightly damp road, 14 degrees—-sweet!
Fernie, Salt Valley, Sandplain, Drummon, Stirlinga and Racecourse soon had us parking outside the famous CC Cafe. We were meant to meet Ross Ashton but missed him by 10 minutes. Oh well it’s the thought that counts.
The CC Cafe was in full social separation mode but did not faze us as we knocked down toasties, full breakfast and coffees. Not many there say another two tables apart from ours.
Julimar Rd and the Chitterings was the selected route home where we separated at Bullsbrook.
A cool day with only one minute of precipitation and riding with good mates couldn’t ask for more.
Thanks Wes for organising and Brian for TEC duties.

That's really great guys but I didn't get a phone call.
That could be because you don't have my number, I'll have to correct the at some time.

Steve so sorry it was a last minute decision cause the weather was OK. I hardly had time to get myself organised. We will not forget your exclusion in the future. Sincere apologies oh mighty BOOMWER mechanic.

Very little warning that the ride was on, luckily I don't live far from the start. Without the the right jacket could have a very cool ride. Very comfortable in my padded jacket.
On the way home tried to get back on the Tonkin from Warbrook Rd - its now a no through road. Looking at the satellite view it appears that access will be via Stock Road but it not yet fully completed.
Great Ride
