Long Day in the Saddle

Brisbane to Muswellbrook

What a lovely day for a ride. Clear sky, cool weather. We didn't leave early - no need.
Turns out the run to Stanthorpe was pretty slow due to plenty of roadworks. Bit of a break for a cuppa then on down the New England.
This is a lovely highway to ride. Few passing opportunities, but the 'Wing dispatches slow traffic efficiently.
Once on our own the hills and curves are a delight and the scenery on a clear day, spectacular.
It wasn't too long before we left the cool heights of the tableland and plunged down the Moonbi Range to Tamworth.
Another hour or so and we were in Muswelbrook, close enough for a short ride in to Newcastle tomorrow.
A tasty meal at the Workers Club finished off the day nicely.
