Bill and I headed down to Bright for the Australia Day weekend with some of our cycling friends and had yet another great weekend. Did the Alpine Classic 140km which involved riding up Mt Buffalo then back through Bright and over Tawonga Gap to Mt Beauty and then back up Tawonga Gap and into Bright. Took about 7 hours. We had good weather and the ride up Mt Buffalo first thing in the morning was lovely and cool and lovely views. We chatted as we rode up the hill - 4 of us rode together. A few people complained as we rode past them that as we were talking we were obviously not working hard enough. My theory is that if you talk then your brain disconnects from what your legs are doing an before you know it you are at the top of the hill. We were noticeably quieter as we went up Tawonga Gap later in the day.
Very pretty up at Mt Buffalo

Bill was volunteering and didn't have as much to do, so had some spare time so went off for a ride and got Lachlan some single malt whisky from a local distillery. He wasn't sure how best to get it home, ended up carrying it in the bike bottle rack on his bike.
