23rd December 2024: Coffee Ride

Beautiful sunny day for a short trip to Maccas Dapto. Today’s contingent were Whispers, back from my short stay at St George Hosp; Perry, Andy, Lassi, John, and Debbie. We met at Loftus Oval where another group of friends meets up on Triumphs, BMs, and Indians.

I mentioned if they would like to come to our meetings at TPBC they would be welcome, so we will wait and see. Uneventful ride along the OPH, not even the usual mobile camera at Boomerang. Chat fest over ever-shrinking and overpriced size of hamburgers (remember when you could feed a family for 20 bucks? Not anymore—you’re lucky to feed one for that amount now).

Same way back, except Perry, John, and Debbie left us at Helensburgh for baby-sitting duties. The rest—Whispers, Lassi, and Andy—returned through RNP where a breathalyzer line was set up for travelers through the park. It appears half of Sydney was heading south for Christmas.

Traffic at Loftus was lined up from the Sutherland bypass to the Princes Hwy, worse than a Sunday afternoon.

Merry Christmas, John “Whispers” Warren.
