Yep, started out fine. Sure the
weather man said it was going to rain. But this is
Blow me down if there wasn't a fine turn out at Whittlesea. After the ride brief we set off up the mountain to Kinglake West. My mood was lightened by the fact the road was dry, so I started thinking maybe we will get a morning's dry riding in.
We pushed on to Flowerdale and turned left for Strath Creek. Still the roads were dry. Yes, lets crank it up a bit. Into Strath Creek turn left and head for that little hill with a nice set of corners. Up and over the little hill, heading for Tyaak. Where did all the light go? Looking up at the clouds only to find I didn't have to. They now started at road level!
Yes, it is now raining and getting heavier. Riding through Broadford I was thinking “this isn't good, no break in the clouds in any direction”. Luckily, the road to Pyalong isn't in bad shape and still has a bit of grip left in it. The rain has set in. Our very wet group pull up at Pyalong. A couple of sad looking members have elected to ride in just their leathers! It has become obvious that today's Club ride is at an end. As I watch riders scatter in all directions I am warmed by the thought that there is always next Sundays ride.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face!." "Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."
