TATONG TAVERN AUGUST 8th

Gee it was soooo good to be out riding again and with a great turn up of 10 bikes with 15 bodies it was all the better. Eric was the leader for the day and with Helen directing him, we only made one missed turn for the day, so well done the pair of you. The tavern at Tatong has always been a good venue for a good meal and we were not disappointed this time either. It was pleasing to see John Baker on the ride... big effort as he had to leave Strathmerton at a much earlier time to get to Mooroopna at 10am and to Dean on his first ever ride on his recently bought 93' sporty. Well done to all, hope you all enjoyed your day enough to come next month when "the Webbs" lead us on their ride to Redesdale. Bird

1st BIRTHDAY PARTY 2010

Time has gone by so quickly, it is hard to take in that one year has passed since we began this venture. Our party was a winner with every thing going to plan, the meal was very good, the deserts were great, the company was well behaved and all enjoyed the night. If I didn't personally thank those who did so well to make it a great night, thankyou to the members who all did their bit, to Gundy for his hearty soup, to Helen for the scolloped potatoes, to Jodie for the yummy deserts and to Gilly for doing the camp ovens. To Grover and his sons goes a special thanks for the use of their shed and their home for the party. Also to Gundy goes all our congratulations on becoming a full member of the club, Gundy has been a contributer of his time and his efforts toward the club for some time now with no expectations of anything in return. I for one will always remember the stunned look on his face when it was announced at the party of his invitation to join as a full member, which I am pleased to say that he accepted.So now we are 6.

KEVINGTON MAY 2010

The weather was that good that I set off on the run with just a "t" shirt, jeans and a pair of thongs. Snug and warm watching these mad mates on bikes rumbling thru town and then pouring the power on down the highway made me wish my bike was going instead of being the "mule" carrying their packs in the car. With the group growing to 12 we made our first stop at Glenrowan.From there we headed south, winding our way thru the hills to the "TolmieTavern" where I had the priviledge of paying $15 for a hamburger, whinging about the cost until this tower of a burger arrived with a foot long skewer stuck thru it to hold it from falling over...great meal. Later that day we settled in at Kevington pub for a fun night, lots of laughs, music, bullshit, great food, pool and fun. Very different the next morning when it showed just who had partyed beyond their limits. Some were jolly, some were a bit doughy,some were very sick and one put on his little girls dress and made a line for home, were she slept for 5 hours on the couch. Every one else made it home safe, ending a great ride and a fun weekend. Thankyou all Bird

WALWA APRIL 17/18 2010

Yeah.. Walwa again, same old roads, same old pub, same old stories, same old lies, same dirty words, same blokes went, no one enjoyed themselves, no fun was had, no idea why we have been going there for 8 years........ Well that's what i tell other bike groups who ask.... but we know different.. ay? Bird

APRIL 4th SUNDAY RIDE

Ok i will take the blame for not realising this weekend is easter sunday, so this ride not happening.

MARCH 20/21 OVER NIGHT STAY AT EILDON

The ride was planned to go thru the "Black Saturday Bushfire" areas on some of the best riding roads in Victoria, and so it did, and they are, even though a bit of the planned ride was deleted at the last moment due to some smart arse telling Bird that a section of road was sealed all the way thru but it wasn't so we went thru the "Black Spur " instead. Everything at the motel was more than satisfactory and the nights entertainment was a pool comp and bullshit session.... normal. Next day we were off to the Alexander Bike show then on to Euroa and final drinks and goodbyes at Toolamba. The usual crew went Bird,Webby,Grover,Stix,Eric and Gundy. I think Webby won the pool comp, the rolling dice $50 and the snorring award as well.

FITZY'S MEMORIAL FEB 27TH 2010

For those who went the start of the day was interesting with weather reports ranging from flooded roads and creek crossings thru to sun shine all day. Yes we did have some rain for about 10k's just before Euroa but the rest of the ride was no problem at all. Bird, Grover,Eric, The Webbs, Dave and Jen all had a very good day out with The Webbs winning the "Rolling Run" down Merton Gap a good lunch at Yea, a couple of pub stops ,a stop to pay tribute to Fitzy at the site of his accident then to the Toolamba pub for final drinks and good byes, all in all a good relaxing day
