Moto Flanerie

This trip identified a couple of roads that I want to check out another day. Next time, I reckon we'll cut through the back of Hahndorf to Nairne, pick up what looks to be dirt around the back of Brukunga and out towards the Bremer Valley again.   I want to check out Range Road and Bondleigh Road, this also chucks in Mt Beaver fire track, which was padlocked, so unlikely to be a viable option.... If not, we can always detour back around Black heath road to Pym Road. Route Link https://goo.gl/maps/1qhuBQMHZL12     Convoluted but hopefully fun. A couple of loopbacks and end up in Palmer, from where I reckon we can definitely head further north around Springton and Eden Valley towards Keyneton and ultimately back home around the top of Para Reservoir. Leave that one to chance....

Charlie's purchase of a WR250R prompted a couple discussions about a weekend rides. With nary more than a meeting time and a barely amenable weather forecast, we hit a variation of this ride . Essentially, we left my place and followed what is my go-to route to Mt Barker to meet Dean. From Mt Barker, along Back Callington rd, past the mine and then out to the NE toward Mannum. This time we crossed the Bremer Valley road and kept heading NE. Link for route: https://goo.gl/maps/AFn7nX9MrXA2 Preammina Rd/Panican Hill road were narrow and reasonably kept dirt, nicely windy but still quick. Good visibility. I could see we were approaching the edge of the river flats and the Bitumen of Reedy Creek Road and turned back to the NW, along Talbot road, until we hit Black Heath Road. Black Heath road was dirt, but a much wider and much more well groomed road, albeit some spectacular views. It's hilly country, with a lot of rocky outcrops. Winter rains have filled the creeks an
