Rutherglen Adventure - Sunday 1 April 2012

Sumner time ended today so we had a lay in.  Actually there were no organised rides for today as many of our members would be going home today after the lunch at the Tuleries in Rutherglen.  I decided to find the Rail Trail to Rutherglen and ride further south for a few kilometres.

I enjoyed the Rail Trail and had a coffee in Rutherglen before going south for about 20Km and returning to Rutherglen.  I was too early for lunch and stopped off at the Wine Experience Centre and bought a couple of little bottles of Rutherglen's special wines, Port and Muscat.

Lunch was a quiet indoor affair and my camera didn't have a flash.  Afterwards it was goodbye to many members.

I cycled back to Corowa by the Rail Trail and then further on along the River Trail to the Corowa shopping centre where I topped up my cash.  I rode about 50Km today.

Back at camp I did my my packing before joining some remaining members for a light meal in the barbecue area.  I went to bed in my tent happy after a great four days.
