A loop on Cann Road and a run to Byford for a break before ascending Nettleton Road. The fire months ago on KIngsbury Drive was still very evident as were the loose stones from roadworks. The run up Del Park Road included the conveyer belt/North Spur variation after a police inspection of the group from a moving car.
"The best group of the day" were in fine form including Multi Menu Mark who needed a 100 mm stack of paper towels to consume a mountain of Buffalo Wings using the finger pincer technique. The alternative, neater, use of a knife and fork to lever out the small bone and strip most of the meat was not favoured.
Eventually the group were able to head to the Nangas (note that the speed limit on Nanga Road is now 90 kph down from 110 kph). The impact of campers charging their phones for a car battery was extensive with only limited road damage from bulldozers. A smooth run on Nanga Brook Road was followed by heavy traffic on South West Highway. Taking Burnside Road we switched to Corio and Hopelands Road where the ride ended at Hopelands.
Thanks to all the corner markers and to Peter Bee for running as tail end Charlie. A glorious day out and a great way to welcome Navigator Nick home.
