Some shots from yesterdays touring ride from Blaxland, thru Lennox Bridge into Lapstone, then Springwood, Falconbridge and a turn around at Woodford. It was a relatively cold day, lots of drizzle. Not sure about the others but I was not feeling comfortable. Not helped by the fact I forgot to pack my usual snacks in my back pocket. Cold and hungry - not a good combination. Stopped at Springwood for coffee and a hearty lunch at Carol and Ray's home in Blaxland (special thank you).

Only took 2 photos. Am sure others will upload their photos soon.
Some highlights:
