Hope you guys and gals had a great ride... I wasn't able to take part, not feeling too good! Much better now of course, but too bloody late... Hopefully I'll be there for the next one!

Well, what an interesting ride today!! Started off great, meeting Craig (kambo) at Forest Glen, riding happily along till we reached Beewah, then boy, did the rain come down, all the way over the Peachester range, all the way to Woodford, where it stopped long enough for a coffee and to empty the water from my boots!! ;D ;D Along came the Boys and girls from down south, Mrc, Aldo, Daz, Wayne and Kate, Karen and Daytona, couple of harley riders (sorry guys, memory for names is terrible) spinning tales of a "Worlds most Dangerous Ride' over Mt Mee!! Saying how thick the fog was they had to hold hands to cross it!! ;D I just looked at Kambo and shook my head, knowing their ride was nothing in comparision the 'rainstorm' we just powered through over the Peachester range! They all decided to turn around and go home from Woodford, something about having to wash their cars or clean their rooms or something!! ;D ;D Kambo and I decided to face the wraith of the gods and head back to the Sunshine Coast, back over the Range, through Maleny and stopped at Landsbrough for a well deserved coffe and cake. Noticing a few bikes turning up at the Landsborough pub, we soon knew why, the 'REBELS MC Caboolture Poker Run' was having one of their stops there! As usual, the parade of (4) 'Motorcycle Police' were following!! We finished our coffee and cake and snuck our way out, past the rows and rows of bikes, past the rows of police, and headed back home! Thanks every-one for attending and hoping no-one takes offence to my 'tonge in cheek' road report for the Beach and Mountains Ride! ;D

Hey Chrisso, Nice report. Although it was wet it still was a great ride. The ride through the clouds was truly great. We forgot to mention we stopped of at Mt Mee and wrestled a croc. We r tough us southerners.

Hi everyone. Lance and I really enjoyed the ride. After leaving woodford we headed south where there was no rain. We ended up at shark leathers ( where I got some saddle bags) then at canungra for a late lunch and coffee. The day had warmed up nicely by then. All up it ended up being a fantastic day. Look forward to riding with you again. Stay safe everyone xox

Hey Friends, Thank you very much to all of you who rode with us last Saturday. It was a shame weather was not very friendly to us but we still managed to have a nice and short ride with rainbows on a side of the road, riding trough the clouds (literally) and under a refreshing rain. I will post a similar ride sometime soon, but it shall be until May since I will be taking a long and deserved leave. Have a great time friends, safe rides and see you in a couple of months.
