Sunday morning ride

Having looked out the window at home (Bathurst) for the past two days whilst it constantly rained, this morning (Sunday 20th Jan) brought blue skies, white cumulus clouds with a tinge of grey and a nice breeze - great weather to get out for a blat on the bike. Having only a little time to myself for a ride this morning, I decided to head out towards Orange on the Mitchell Highway to check out a new cafe on the highway.

Its roughly about half way between Bathurst and Orange (25kms) and is called the Beekeeper's Inn. It was built in 1859 and has been converted into a licensed cafe, farm shop with antiques and collectables as well.

There is off road parking and the cafe menu is reasonable. They have a patio seating area overlooking the fields and you can see the carpark from it. There is plenty of seating inside as well, where you can browse the shelves of local wine, farm and gourmet produce etc.
I ordered a large coffee and sweet muffins (that came with butter and honey) and sat back and watched the world and clouds float by :) The ride back to Bathurst was a joy :) Yet another place to take a leisurely break if you are riding out in the Central West.
