I thought Werner was being a bit pessimistic about the mornings weather conditions until I realised i had my 100 x brightness bike riding glasses on. In the gloom we set off for one of our "fave" ride the Bourkes / Bessi Creek double with a few subtle and challenging variations.
Discussing recipes it was appropriate that the weather create its own with the rain now combining with the freshly graded dirt on Morrison Rd to create a beautiful quicksand like "glug". With the rain increasing (didnt know 1 mm of rain could be so much) we made it to Bessi Creek where self decided it might be interesting to go by way of Mount Ernie Rd to Gembrook
The clue about what was about to come might have just been in the roads name but still this was a beautiful detour from our normal route past a couple of amazing properties till we eventually located the main Gembrook Rd
In Gembrook we took time out for a coffee and a meaning of life discussion talk with our good friend Grant. Revitalised and almost dry we took on Avon Rd on the way back before one one final surprise a cross country cycle through the former Emerald Golf Course. Another great days ride and one to be repeated I'm sure with our missing group members.
