Chris was determined to do the ride from Seaford which was about 55 kms whilst Frank, Anthony and Ellio were on the train to Frankston. There was a delay in hoping on the train as a truck ran into a bridge which was on the train line.
Abdy, Ian and myself had a bit of the sleep in to about 7.30 followed by breakfast and a coffee in Blairgowrie….After this we had to shop for lunch and dinner in Rye….. seems we are doing a lot of shopping!!!
Watching the movement of Chris on the WhatsApp location function we were able to see that Chris would arrive at Rye around lunchtime…. He made very good time!
Meanwhile the boys on the train were having misgivings about the ride from Frankston so I drove to the Frankston McDonalds to pick them up. The issue was rather heavy rain…. Or so I was told!
After picking the Melbourne travellers up we made our way to Rye and enjoyed a lovely lunch of bread rolls.
The afternoon was spent watching the Aussie Grand Prix and the Melbourne v Western Sydney AFL match.
In both cases it was a bit disappointing as Oscar Piastri was placed 9th ( after a good start) and the Dees lost by 3 points!
Dinner tonight was cooked by the group with sausages, mash, vegetables and gravy mixed with mushrooms and onions.. a good dinner for us all. I felt a bit of a cheat as I did not have a ride today… Chris was the only one of us who really earned a big dinner.
Tomorrow we move on to commence the ride on the Great Ocean Road.
It was good to have a conversation about the days ahead and get acquainted with the way the group will ride over dinner.
There’s real anticipation about the days ahead and I look forward to the adventures!
Me and the Ute… it was a bit cold!
