Toodling to Toodyay

[Swampy]

It was the dawn of another beautiful day in the best place in the world to be living as I made my way through the hills from Mount Richon to the Dome in Mundaring.

At 0600 there was very little traffic as I started out on on the route I normally take to the Dome in Mundaring arriving there at around 0700 on a nice cool morning.

Sat sipping a delicious coffee and waited for the usual mob to arrive!! Scruff was first closely followed by Sophie and Nick. Then Wes lobbed up and lastly Noel in his ute with his wrist still bandaged from his op!!

Peter made contact regarding a run to Greenhills which sounded pretty good to the majority of us but the longer we sat and waited for Pete's group to arrive in Mundaring the more restless we became as we had all finished breakfasts and coffees and were eager to make a move while the day was still relatively young!!

We decided to make hay while the sun was shining and Scruff led our group off through a maze of back blocks with countless twists and turns to eventually pop out near O'Brian Road along which we took a fairly steady very pleasant cruise emerging out at the normal exit to Toodyay road.

A lovely run down Lovers Lane bought us out on Julimar road and we cruised into Toodyay in beautiful Spring like weather!!

We enjoyed our normal break at a very quiet Cola Cafe and took the opportunity to catch up with local regulars we have befriended over the years!!

Wes decided to slab solo homewards while the rest of us took the scenic ride into Northam and then onto York where I split from the group to make my own way home!!

Thanks guys and girl, A lovely ride in lovely weather and in good company as usual!!

See you all Sunday!!
