Five go rad in Newstead

It was Graham's birthday on Friday so we decided to organise a beer ride in his honour. It was a beautiful day to be out on the bikes with temperatures hitting 29 degrees. Not bad for about the third week of Spring!
We had a variety of bikes - two On-One Pompinos, a Roadrat, a Salsa touring bike and a beautiful looking Colnago. It may look like we're in the bush but we're actually just at Bitter Suite
 where Graham enjoyed a hoppy birthday with an IPA
After that we rode out to the Breakfast Creek hotel - not a craft beer pub but their 4X 'off the wood' (ie poured from a barrel, not a tap) is tasty
 After the Breakfast Creek we relocated to Kerbside in the Valley for some overpriced bottles ("Because it's imported")
and after that the Yardbird Alehouse to enjoy a Torpedo IPA & laugh at the hipsters, then the Ship to watch the world go past and finally Scratch to enjoy their fine craft beer range. I'd given up taking pictures at that point (and in retrospect should have taken less of the bikes and more of the people) but I did manage to pause on the Go-Between bridge to admire the sunset on the Spring Equinox
 Thanks lads!
