yep, up thru the mt lindsay hill climb section. Also when we get past the border there are those tight corners where we could get some good shots.

wait and see Mr Humps, don't jump to conclusions, showers is the forecast so far. We've got another 3 days for the weather man to sort his 5hit out and give us a decent forecast......

Well, for those of you who had the excuses of parents visiting, no baby sitter and a blown hot water system, :spank: Barry and I had a brilliant ride this morning rolling out of the switch at 8:15am. :thumbup:

We deviated slightly from the Humps route and headed south to Boonah. A quick drink for the bikes and we continued south via Maroon dam to Rathdowney. Virtually an uninterrupted hill climb through the twisties up to Woodenbong. :rockon: Foot pegs were a scraping.

A quick breather at the top and we then made our way down towards Kyogle. Did a left and covered some new territory along the Lions Road. What a pretty (if I 'm allowed to use that adjective) ride. Unlinemarked, no speed limit :D and in certain sections you can, i mean, could get along pretty swiftly.

For those of you who love rollercoaster rides, there is a section of camel humps where you can test your endurance on handling negative and positive G-forces.

The Lions Road is a must do ride.

Pulled up at Rathdowney at around 11am for a leg and jaw stretch. Saddled up and cruised back to Brissey and was home around 1pm.

Thanks Barry for coming, haven't seen you for awhile, was great to catch up. For those who missed out, well, that you did. I wanna do that circuit again......

bit slack, yes i know. Here are a couple of picks from this occasion...

Doh! I got so excited about the christening that all reason flew out the window methinks. Fingers crossed for THIS Sunday, for the weather and for me!

I'm gonna take a look at the sky in the morning and decide, unless the forecast turns really fowl - still showers at the mo, not too bad.

8am Maccas Booval, is that the one on Brisbane st, Ipswich?

I'll bring your soldering iron too Paul.

I have a new toy as well... Nexus One (Google Phone), which includes turn by turn gps navigation, and the ability to kill iPhones :D

Which day shall we target, Saturday or Sunday? Forecast is still showers for both days.

may i suggest we aim for saturday, if weather is dodgy then try sunday. What do you all reckon? Any preference? :confused:
