Stage 1 - Richmond to Murchison
Time for something completely different. The Old Farts Tour organised by Paul Dowell has reached almost historic infamy. Without any events lined up and the the blessing of Hannah I decided to give it a go. The crew this year was is a great mix of riders and included Ritchie V, Grant S, Ross Mac, Garry O and Rob along with others which bought our total number to 11 riders. Todays stage was pretty short and straightforward Richmond to Murchison. The weather was fine but there was a slight headwind. The group lapped out the entire time and made reasonable time for the 112km. A quick stop at the River cafe for a late lunch/afternoon tea where I had a Cheese and Onion Scone. Then it was off to our accommodation at the Murchison Motels - very nice and more opulent than what I'm used to. I had bought my own food for tea but the others headed off to the Pub for a meal where the Hard Cock and Soft Cock awards were issued. I won the Soft Cock (SC) for having a mud guard on my bike - although I expect that the others may be envious of it tomorrow and the next couple of days as the forecast is for rain.
Hopefully I will have some photos to soon
