I guess we should have gotten the group to gather UNDER the banner and this would have been a better shot. Oh well. Almost 120 Friday funsters this year, from every Australia State except Northern Territory. Plus Alaska and Colorado. Graham and Lorna Mogford - Lorna started out an occasional cyclist 5 years ago and look at her now! "Whereever your relationship is headed, a tandem will take you there faster," is the saying "We're still in love" says Graham. Julie and Bronwyn on their pocket Fridays.

It could be New Zealand but it's not - it's Cowra, New South Wales. This place sold gourmet pies - a popular Aussie food that's never really taken off in America. Organically correct food out in the country - the foodies are moving closer to the source of produce, I'm told. Meaning - country NSW is soon to become hip! Happiness is a Friday or two! In the city, "hotel" now usually refers to a pub. I guess you could crash there if you had a hangover.

'Pure brunette on tap" must be Guinness ... and families are welcome !? Now why aren't we in the bike lane? Because it's bumpy and crummy! I was somewhat taken by this lonely 60's icon. You could be somewhere in roadside America - this is roadside Australia. Colin Freestone's cowcall had every bovine bull making a beeline for us - "just as well there's a fence" said Gary.

The whole herd eventually responded to Colin's impressive cow call. Colin, Annettte and Garry - three's a nice crowd. Spotted in the boonies. If it's breathing, it's dead! Ann took the tikit for a 2-became-20 km test ride.
