Great Alpine Road

What a great ride of the top of the Victorian Snow Fields, The ghost gums line both sides of the road, it looks like another planet on top of the mountains there are a lot of blind corners and not for the faint hearted however what a great ride, the Spyder handled the corners without a hitch and I am becoming more confident as each day goes by, the clouds grew black and I was worried it might start raining, the last thing I wanted was to ride down the mountains in the pouring rain.

However my luck was with me today I managed to ride down the mountains and there wasn't any rain until I got to the foot of the mountains, I stopped for coffee at Bright and then the heavens opened, I had intended to camp at Beechworth for a couple of days however it is torrential rain at the moment, so I decided to stop at Wangaratta for the night I am heading into Melbourne for the weekend and on Monday I am heading up to Halls Gap for a week. I rode 184 km today. The funny thing is I am not stressed out about the rain I have been on the road for 3 weeks and have had fine weather for most of the trip so I can't complain.
