After meeting up with Deb and Al on our trusty iron horses we headed for the Lyons road out of Rathdowney to Kyogle,which is a well known bike ride road with fantastic scenery through a lush green valley. We stopped for breaky half way and cooked up some bacon and scramble eggs on my little travel stove and some coffee,it was starting to get hot and we shed the jackets. We then stopped again after a couple hours for coffee and the best lemon meringue pie in a really olde but quaint coffee/store shop.
We rode into Murwimbula with Deb and Al needing some fuel,there was only two pumps,diesel and petrol,well Deb pulled up to the diesel pump and started to fill up,being distracted by a huge crate of ripe mango's that were for sale,then Al filled his bike up as well with the diesel! We chose our mango's and stashed them on the bike and rode away,within a couple of k's Als bike stopped and Deb's bike started playing up like a hairy goat! Al thought it was bad fuel until we smelled it,DIESEL!
Well we had to drain both bikes,nearly 30 litres! and i rode off to get some fresh fuel in a can. We were planning to go home a different road through the mountains but a huge storm was gathering on the mountain so we high tailed it up the main highway to skirt the storm and we made it ,what an adventure!
