Not before time, we hit the gravel roads. Strangely, there were no cyclists on this side of the hill.

The day was heating up fast, I couldn't see the Rainforest for the trees.

These are some of the trees that stop your view of the rainforest, really someone should move them.

But he was having none of it as he bounced off into the scrub.

It was nice to ride Lady Talbot Drive without crashing or skating on the ice that was there the last time I rode here.

Great day out, Thanks Squizzy and Pete , Brad and Goodie :clap:

Nice photos Doug. I dont know about anyone else, but my legs are a bit sore today. Note to self, must do more leg exercises. Or go for more rides!

Not a bad morning in Kalorama...with the day's target somewhere in the hills over there.

Things got fairly lumpy and skittish, and somehow all the local council road-depts must be run by Kiwis now...they love to dump copious amounts of 2" gravel onto any dirt road they can find. :doh:

Squiz led us on a "shortcut" across the Toolangi....yeah!
I'm still trying to figure out where we went! :bs
Cracker, though....would love a repeat, with a lot less dust though.

Thanks for the ride, guys.... (and not baulking at the endless stops :thumbs:)
A tick-in-the-box for the Lady Talbot and yet another few roads learned about that I hadn't done before...:bow:

Gotta do this again!

Toolangi shortcut is Plantation - Yellowdindi - Murrendindi - Sylvia Creek

Use it a lot when on the Katoom.
