FEBRUARY RIDE TO OMEO

I haven,t been attending to this site as I should so my apologies  to those who do take a look to see what we have been up to. February is a month where we plan a ride to somewhere with the proviso that the temperature does not exceed 34 c  it being the hottest month of the year and all. It was decided to make the ride to Omeo and so with the weather temp being forecast as 29c why not? sounds perfect, didn't it? Well who would have thought that in Feb you could get to go for a ride, in the middle of a drought mind you, in non stop rain, throw in a bit of sleet and very heavy wet fog for 99% of the time of the climb up to Omeo? NOT ME... How bloody wet were we by the time we arrived at the Omeo pub... wet thru to my jocks but even so I still enjoyed getting out with the boys and having a good time regardless.After we had a hot shower and got into dry clothes all was good and the pub was most helpful with heaters to help dry our gear so we settled in for a pleasant night. Next day was much better and we set off coming back over Falls Creek to Mt Beauty for lunch and from there to Mertylford and on to home.
