A clear Ride Sunday arrived and a perfect day it was. We needed to stretch the legs of our Honda’s. A trip to Port Douglas sounded like a great idea. We didn’t eat before hand just to ensure that we were starving by the time we arrived. Home As things warmed up, we took option …

Cairns in the winter is a dreamy, blissful place. Even the clouds are so relaxed, they are happy to chill-out in the valleys. I’m off and up the Gillies Range again to see how the day unfolds. No preconceived agenda. No concept of the days activities. I will just “follow my nose” and see what …
