More from Sidecar Circus 2011

Yesterday I introduced you to the bag of Mixed Nuts that went for a ride together on Sunday 10th July 2011 in what was called the “Sidecar Circus”.  We got as far as the Morning Tea break, where we pick up the story today:

A very important group of people assisting us on these rides are the “Marshalls”: a group of men and women set out before the ride begins to wait on the corners to direct all the riders which way to go.

After a most welcome Morning Tea had been well and truly consumed, we travelled via Mount Glorious Road to Samford, then by Samford Road to Bygotts Road where we turned left up a first-gear hill and then followed Mailmans Track to Bunya Road and then to Eaton’s Crossing Rod. There we all had to smile for the camera again.

From Eatons Hill Road we turned Left onto Clear Mountain Road from which we gained stunning views over Lake Samsonvale, and then turned right onto Winns Road.
From there it was back to the Petrie Markets via Forgan Road, Protheroe Road and Young’s Crossing. After a while chinwagging back at the markets we all left to find our own ways home.
