Beautiful sunny day in Melbourne, cut the comedy.
Melbourne does pull out some nice days. Its rare but it happens ok. Yesterday was beautiful and if I didn't have to work I would have been out riding too. Anyway, a short little ride I like doing occasionally is, up through Whittlesea and on to Kinglake West and follow the Yea Road to Flowerdale pub. Have a quick rest and then turn left down through Strath Creek and follow the road onto Broadford. There is some straight bits but some twisties as well. Keep travelling along and you'll pass the Broadford Motorcycle/Motorsports track and then just after that, the Hume Highway. I usually turn left onto the Hume and head back home. Around a 200 kay trip. Not bad if you just want to get out of the house.
You need to get interstate a bit if you want nice days back to back to back....maybe the lovely state of Qld...
I visit my sister regularly on the “sunshine coast” and ironically it’s always raining. 385mm in 18 hours once. That’s half of Melbourne’s annual rainfall!!! That’s crazy rain
Another great day in Melb today too.
Some decent roads down around Mornington Peninsula.....Down Peninsula Link, up and over Arthurs Seat through to Merricks and/or Flinders. On to Portsea pub for a good feed, then back to Sorrento Ferry across to Queenscliff for a full loop back to Melbourne. Portsea pub during summer a good optic nerve!
I live in Mornington, got the bike out Sunday morning, red hill and all through there crawling with highway patrol saw 3 in 15 mins.. said fuckit and went home. Police motorcycle harassment is out of control down here.
