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
