I love the ride down through Ulladulla, Bateman's Bay, Cobargo, then over Browns Mtn through Bemboka, Nimmitabell and Cooma, it was 14 degrees when we arrived just before 4pm. We had a two hour 'happy hour', beer, wine, bubbly, nibblies and then shower ready for dinner at the Ex-servicemen's club Cooma.
Sunday morning it was a crisp 3 degrees when we walked to the main street to have breakfast, it was nice as the sun was shining, with the fog hanging about the hills, the autumn leaves so thick on the main street and I love the mosaic pictures at the roundabout on the park, I forgot to take the camera to breakfast so no photos. The mosaic pictures remind me of the chalk drawings on the pavement in the Mary Poppins movie.
We then rode to Canberra through thick wet fog, which was from just out of Cooma's main street to Bredbo, then the sun shone. We rode to the War Memorial, had a very quick walk through some of the memorial, had morning tea then back on the bikes to ride to Gunning for lunch via Gundaroo, what a nice old, old town Gundaroo is, it has very nice and very old buildings, the pub looked so nice (and old). Gunning is where my dad was born, he lived in Wollongong in his teen age years and he and mum are still in the Illawarra in our family home. Some had lunch at the pub and some of us had lunch at the Merino Cafe, I have been there before with DH and it is very nice. There are some old shops with old things in them, a nice little gift type of shop and some cafes which were open today (sunday). I love the autumn colours and the main street of Gunning was spectacular, with yellows through to ruby reds, the leaves are just amazing. I love autumn. We rode the old Hume Highway back through Breadalbane to the now Hume Highway which was a nice but bumpy ride. It was nice with all the leaves over the road and as we rode through they seem to dance and tumble all over the road. I guess being the old road it doesn't have much traffic we passed 2 cars on the way and it is about 33ks from Gunning back to the highway.

I haven't done any knitting since thursday night, and not sure if I will be awake long enough to do any tonight, I am pretty tired.
I have some photo's of some of the places we were today along with the socks I learnt to knit on 1 circular needle last weekend and a scarf I am hoping to finish for my Mum for Mothers Day it is the Luscious Lace Scarf and I am using the 2ply Merino I bought a few years back at a Knitters Guild camp. It is a Tasmanian Merino of which the company now operate out of Canberra (Canbra) and I can't remember the name.
Blogger is not playing nice and won't upload my photos, so I will try later to get uploaded.

The Trip looks fantastic. I love that road over Browns Mountain. Although generally we do it the other way from Canberra to Eden.
