Spent the weekend (28/29) riding around Crookwell. Places of interest were Laggan (morning tea) Taralga (lunch) via Golspie on the Saturday and the wind farm on Sunday which is about 12 Kms southeast of Crookwell.
The ride was H A R D. Coming home from Taralga had us riding into 30 kt winds that were freezing, 6 degrees C I am told by the many cycling computers with a temperature sensor. Four of us had to get the slag wagon home, and two were seriously affected by the cold. The ride ran two hours late and probably a reflection of idle planning.
The morning tea at The Killaiden House Cafe, Laggan was great and ditto for the lunch at Taralga. Lunch was at Cushendall Cottage. A delightful place where we were given a wine tasting and lunch. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a For Sale on the business, maybe after 20 years or so they have decided to give the wine making business away.
Sunday was a ride to the wind farm. The blurb at the site look out told us one of the features of the district was the wind, and for us bicycle riders, we could only agree!
Glad to get home.
