It's the final post for 2020 and I'm looking forward to more idiocy in 2021. Yesterday we went to our motocross club and had a spin. Martin's skills are improving and I've discovered I'm fat and unfit. We stopped off at Stumpy Gulley for a snack on the way home and had a $36 cheese platter (you be the judge) and some drinks. 

Today (New Year's Eve) we met up with Neil and Fam. for some rollerblading at RollerRama. I have not done this in 30 years so was a little rusty. It was fun but the boys hated it as it was 'un-cool' which means they now need to have lessons (evil laugher).

Mansfield 2020

We all needed a short break after the #Covid nonsense and what better than to visit Mansfield in regional Victoria. We stayed at The Arlzburg and it was great. A visit to the Mansfield Zoo and short trips to nearby towns rounded off our holiday. We are going again in February and will bring the dirtbikes.

Ride with Jnr

Went for a quick blast down the coast. #DictatorDan's Gestapo was out in force (roadblock which is in the video) to check that we are not exceeding the 25km limit currently imposed due to the KungFlu. My 2015 MT-09 is still like new and has way to much power but that's what keeps me coming back form more.

Covid19 - Winery Take 2

The idiotic lockdown has partially ended and people and their muzzles are allowed to travel 25km. Thankfully we are close to wineries (Jones Road Winery) so took the opportunity to get out and enjoy the wonderful sunshine. We also got a new car due to space arguments with two large teenage boys..... 

Then it was back home for some sun bbq and a and to charge the boat battery.

We Love Wineries

Spring Covid19 Beach Trip

As the world loses its mind over #Covid19, we cycled down to the beach for lunch. It was a glorious spring day (around 21) and we sat down and enjoyed sandwiches and cold drinks. Thereafter then went to the wetlands for some scenery and to watch folk wearing their diapers. Fingers crossed we'll have a great summer.

Cycle till we drop

Spring Covid19 Ride

Spring has sprung and it was time for a nice ride to Waterways. We stopped off at 'The Nest' for a custard slice and to enjoy the views. Then back home for some homemade PIZZA. It was a nice way to spend the Lockdown during this part of the Scamdemic.

MX on the Queens Birthday

Martins skills are improving. Great family day out at Mornington Peninsula Motorcycle Club. Shot with my new GoPro 8 Black - Pictures IMHO still suck compared to most phones/real cameras (need to play).

1st Feed after Flu

After two months the restaurants have 'finally' opened and the best way to celebrate was to drive down the peninsula and have a feed. We popped into Barmah Park Restaurant & Cellar Door and enjoyed a great family meal. It is good to see that the flu season is nearly over and the insanity is ebbing. All we now have to deal with is the protests and riots. :-)



Living Life

Roughing it

Long weekend = Getting away, and what better a place to do this is in the Victorian countryside. We headed out for a motocross weekend in Gippsland where we stayed at the Starglen Lodge. After a few falls, we headed out to Mansfield for lunch, putt-putt (we normally stop in Mansfield to get snow chains) and a cold beer in Bonnie Doon Hotel where we went down to Lake Eildon to investigate our next adventure.



Rip up the turf

Mordi Food & Wine festival

We have not been in a while so this year with thought we would head down to see what delights they had on offer. After giving myself 3rd degree burns with the hot sauce on my brisket bun I did not taste the beers after. It was also Georgie's and my 5th wedding anniversary. Did I mention we met the Pratts who also enjoyed the afternoon?



What a lovely day in Mordi

Feedback Loops

We hooked up with the Pratts to look at an exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) called Feedback Loops. The boys enjoyed the large screen video game and marvelled at the interesting art. Well worth a visit.
