Australia Day Ride

Australia Day Ride


On Monday 28th January all the patriotic Dalbyites headed to the Bunya’s for the annual Australia Day Ride. There was a fair size bunch which left from the PO @ 6am. It was a nice steady pace as some of the Gromits joined us and showed us all up. After a brief breather at The Bun we continued on our merry way to Koehler Park. This was the end for some of the riders, the start for others and a mere drink stop for the ones making the journey to the foothills stop further up the hill. With support vehicles in tow Cormack, Jacob and Charlie showed the other Dalby starters Tom, BJ, Brad, Craig & Rachele that they too could hold their own on the up hill climb. Damo and Nolesy followed suit from Koehler Park and continued on up and over the bunya’s with Brad, Tom & Craig flexing their climbing muscle as well. The MTB girls Bron and Clare opted for the safer option which was to drive up in the safety of Team Green Car. The support vehicles were again a necessity in helping our Team Dalby Crew to revive and offer encourage or shout abuse and take a few pics. We all joined again at the top for a yummy brunch and then we all came home again, some opting for the comfort of an air conditioned car OR an uncomfortable leather bicycle seat.. A short pub stop at The Bun Pub is always required and after a few beers and an ice cold coke for ‘Ride of Day’ recipient Lee, we headed home. Great riding again to the Gromits, I think next year they’ll be riding all the way...
