"90% chance of rain for Sunday after the cold front hits late Saturday "

Ya...looked like Freddo the Weatherfrog had fallen off his ladder again.... while grey and hazy, the early morning still showed dry asphalt out there.

A chance to bounce along that 15km lockdown-circle, this time towards the east.
Stitching local single-laners and gravel on a very quiet Sunday morning...."building bridges"

A bit later, now poking through the National Park between Mt. Dandenong and the Silvan Reservoir on some smooth gravel

Just had to give this another go after quitting last time, making sure of going up first....and the DR was scrabbling while I was checking for the best lines for the downhill crawl.
Which turned out... sort of interesting :)

Glorious views from the ridges back towards Silvan Dam and into the Yarra Valley/ Kinglake...
