Toy Run weather remained dry

A small group left from the coffee shop this morning to participate in the annual Toy Ride. Wayne and Helene, Volvi, Avi, Sergie and myself. A reasonable number of bikes turned up and the ride to the venue Calder Park was conducted quite safely.

I stayed a little longer to inspect the race track I have competed on since 1970. Yes it really says it all about our age.
