DEDERANG RIDE 21/22 Nov 2009

"Trust Me" seemed to be heard often over the weekend, always as a jibe directed at Bird for his statement of "Trust me it won't rain". Well rain it did and plenty of it, all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday peaking with a torrential down pour as we entered Yarrawonga, where the road was covered with water and visability was down to guesswork. Nearly all of the riders who went discovered flaws in their wet weather gear, so it was a good test for them. Apart from the flat tyre on Stix's bike the time at "THE RANGA" hotel was very entertaining and will definately be on the riding list for next year, the ride there, the rooms, the meals, the atmosphere are all tops and not to be missed. Thanks to Webby, Stix, Grover, Eric, Dave, Pecka, Gundy for making it a great weekend in spite of the weather..... Bird

TOOLAMBA PUB NIGHT

What a great night, every one i have spoken to since enjoyed the whole thing. A big thankyou to "Poppy" for putting on a great spread again, and to everyone who turned up for supporting the raffles and the night in general.Bird

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1ST

Sunny weather, more riders out and about and great to see too. 13 turned up.... which is our best roll up so far..... only 12 left, Kel's ride wouldn't start but unfortunately he had parked behind the big gas bottle and no one saw his trouble's. We have apoligised since and i think he has forgiven us ... just. It was a great day in all with lots of good riding country taking in, lots of good bantering between friends, lots of laughs, good food, no accidents, all safe and all back home. Very pleasing to see some new faces and we hope they come again. Bird
