26 September - Wagga-Beechworth-Wagga

Leaving Wagga (Harley's Cafe - Lake Albert) at about 9am. Riding to Culcairn, Howlong, Chiltern then Beechworth for lunch.

The ride home will depend on the weather and who is on the ride. Current plan is to head to Yackendandah, Tallangatta, over Granya Gap to Jingellic then Holbrook and home. Otherwise it'll be Yachendandah, Allans Flat, Wodonga, Culcairn and home.

We had 7 riders show up for the ride on Sunday. We headed of just after 9am, had a quick coffee/smoke/wee break at Culcairn before heading on to Howlong for a slightly longer coffee/smoke/wee and petrol stop. From it was off to Chiltern and on to Beechworth where we met up with 2 other members (Redbacks) for lunch. After lunch and quick top up of tanks we headed to Myrtleford, well after a little detour when the lead rider (me) missed the turnoff.

When we got to the GAR Mick (as in B6mick from the Bandit Alley site) turned right and head to Wangaratta and on to Melbourne (home for him). The rest of us turned left and into Myrtleford then on to Osbourne and Allans Flats. It's the first time I've ridden these roads (driven them a couple times) and had an absolute ball.

From there it was on to Albury for fuel then back to Wagga.

Total distance about 420km.
