Riders: Bob, Isabel, Tommy, Yoshika, Harry, Robert, Laurel, Tami, Ted, Fiona
We arrived at Caboolture Lakes at around 8.15 a.m. after having driven through light rain from Bribie.
Twelve of us showed up for the ride at around 9 a.m. We departed to do the first circuit of the bike track.
An interesting ride which runs parallel to the Caboolture River crossing it over a narrow bridge about one and a half klms into the ride.
We got to the end of the track and then with Tami's help (local knowledge) we added a couple more kilometres along a few roads on the western side of the bike track.
We rode back to the departure site (approx 5 kilometres) and picked up Ted who had been doing his normal stretching exercises prior to riding.
Unfortunately Ted had a mishap only a short distance into the second circuit and decided to return to the starting area. Harry went back with Ted and was able to ring Bob and let him know what had happened. We decided later at coffee this was good way to communicate on rides with the ride leader and 'Tail End Charlie' to be in touch with mobile phones (and numbers).
A few of us did the third circuit with some of the 'bigger kids' riding the BMX track as well. After completing three circuits of the bike track we had all had enough.
A great coffee break was enjoyed by all and as we were loading the bikes back onto the cars it started drizzling again. We were indeed lucky to get this most enjoyable ride completed without getting wet.
