Off on another ride

Arrived in Orbost Friday night prior to starting a small group ride on Sunday.  The tour heads up into the high country and we anticipate a hill or two.
The weather today,  Saturday,  is sunny and clear so after a very  leisurely breakfast in town and taking the local shops Diane and I rode over to Marlo. Marlo is a tiny coastal village which is a popular tourist destination in summer. 

The local pub has a marvellous upstairs verandah from which we enjoyed the views right up until we saw an inebriated naked young man riding around on Diane's new mountain bike.  Idiot!
Naturally we raised our voices ordering him off the bike.  He did so.  Trish,  who had driven over to join us,  and I insisted that Diane should at least rinse the seat before getting on. 
With a tail wind taking us back to Orbost alongside the Snowy River all in all it was a top afternoon on a beautiful sunny day.
Tomorrow we meet our fellow travellers and guides and head for the hills
