A Three Ferry Ride, Sunday 31st May

25 May

Rod Bailey, will lead the ride, leaving Hawthorn Crescent 10 O’clock sharp. Any riders that wish to avoid the city can meet us about 10.30, outside the Little Birdy Cafe at Nairne. We will not be stopping so don’t get comfortable.
From Nairne we will ride to Murray Bridge, Old Swanport Rd, Jervois and our first ferry to Tailem Bend, where we will stop for a cuppa. From Tailem Bend we head to Meningi, turning off onto Poltalloch Rd,
crossing the lake on our second ferry at Narung, then along the lake shore to Meningi, and lunch.
After lunch we head straight back to Wellington, cross the river on our third ferry and ride to Strathalbyn, where the ride will officially end.
It will be a great ride, perfect for cruiser style bikes but any bike that can maintain open road speeds will be fine.
Hope you can join us!
Allan V.
Club Captain.

Midweek Ride 21st April

25 Apr

Chris Herreen, led us on a Mystery Ride and 9 riders turned up, the weather was perfect for motorbikes. It turned out that the Mystery part of the ride was a stop at Hahndorf to play Mini Golf. We parked close to the golf links, very close to Otto’s Bakery, paid our $8- fees and started our round, at the beginning some tried to keep score but the scores were so depressing that almost all gave up and had fun. Every player was subjected to a considerable amount of useless advice, unhelpful suggestions and heckling from the watchers and many of us gave up on one or two of the holes. The whole event took about 40 minutes and when we finished we repaired to Otto’s Bakery to recovery and refreshments.

Ray Hill, agreed to lead after Otto’s and a brisk ride was requested. We rode through Littlehampton, Nairne, Brukunga, Birdwood and via back roads ended at Kersbrook Hotel. Ray managed to keep within the speed limits….. most of the time. Non of us felt inclined to have a sit down lunch so we spent half an hour in the carpark chatting and then went home. Your Club Captain, enjoyed the day very much. Any feed back from the others who rode with us would be much appreciated. Did you enjoy it and should we occasionally indulge in “Mystery Rides”?

Thanks to Chris and Ray for a very enjoyable ride!

Next Ride: Sunday 3rd May, Destination yet to be decided.

We couldn’t have picked a better day for the reorganised Summer BBQ, which was rescheduled due to hot weather. Thanks to Alan Kernich, Bob Cole (chef) and Evangeline (apple pie & cream) and all who attended and helped out on the day. We all agreed that this time of year is the perfect time for future club BBQs.
