Otway Classic Report...

Thanks to Alan....

For those of us lucky enough to do the Otway Classic today,what a thrill.
Exceptional weather, except for a touch of rain, but basically cool enough to ride in a just short sleeved kit.

Lovely scenery, especially the entry from Moriac into Bells Beach.
The climb out of Bells was incredibly touch for my chain, and that meant the sag wagon to Lorne to have my bike operated on.

But the best part is that whilst it rained (and it was heavy) I was in the comfort of the Ford Territory.

Coffee at Lorne with my new chain and the boys, followed by the lovely climb and descent into Deans Marsh.

The finish back to Moriac, came with a welcomed tail wind most of the journey.
Finishing at the Moriac Footy Ground, with nice cold beers provided by Michael, and lots of Franklins sausages in white bread with tomato sauce.

Tasted amazing and was perfect for our hunger at that point in time.
Another time, I think the result would have been different.

Whilst rolling into the footy ground, Michael & where reflecting on how great a day it had been and how lucky we where to be able to enjoy days like this, so often.

The guilt over took us, and we thought it would be appropriate to do something for our wives to thank them for their patience in letting us do these events without ever putting pressure on us, like cutting the grass, or changing tap washers or the like.

Yeah....right.
