A group tour with family and friends – touring the Atherton Tablelands, riding the ranges and enjoying the company and scenery together brought smiles to all.  The Atherton Tablelands was our starting point, at Mike and Liz’s hire and repair workshop in Malanda, then down the Gillies range to Cairns, what an exciting 200 or so corners that road boasts! Then north up the coast road to Port Douglas, a delicious coffee and lunch – there’s so many great eateries to choose from at this popular destination; a stroll back to the motorcycles cooling under a raintree, mount up and roar up the Rex Range to the cooler temperatures of Mt Molloy for some cold beverage at the local, a few more stories to share, and the mid afternoon sees us cruising back to the Atherton Tablelands via Mareeba. A chance to share stories and laughs, enjoy more hospitality as we share in the preparation of a BBQ and trimmings with Mike and Liz.
