THE BLOG

Should I keep doing this newsletter or is it just a waste of time and effort? I suppose a bit of feed back is what I am looking for to let me know that someone else besides me is reading it.

SUNDAY RIDE TO TOBURAC 7/11/10

Dave and Jenny did a fine job of leading the ride ... most of the time..the venue was very good, the meal was fine and although we cut a bit of the ride off because of threatening rain clouds the track we took was interesting too. It was a very good turn out of 14 people with one new face being John"Blue" Sellwood from Undera way. Bloody Dave won the dice with a nice pickup of $110 so he had a good day all round, not the first time the arsey bugger has won our competions. Bird

MITTA MITTA RIDE 23rd& 24th 2010

Mad Mob by name, Mad Mob by nature, and that we were setting off on Saturday in the rain, all 7 of us trusting that the weather would change for the better and it did. It is such a shame we live where we do as it takes so long to get to what is good riding country, but it is all worth it when we do. Green is the dominant colour and it is everywhere, some of the views of valleys and hillsides are post card stuff, and then we go rip tear arseing thru them making all sorts of noise... great stuff. Dave was able to revisit his accident site to rid him of old demons, and I am glad to report no new cases. We did however have one episode of a woman publican coming out of her pub to rant about riding in the wrong area outside her hotel, she then recieved our answer as 6 riders restarted their bikes and rode off to the next pub, leaving one behind who had already ordered and got his beer and he heard one of the locals say" That was well done, there goes a few pineapples".. meaning $50 notes she could have had. Turns out she is an ex-cop.. go figure. Our next stop was Mitta and everything was very good there and I am sure we will go back. Bird

SATURDAY RIDE TO REDESDALE 9th OCTOBER

This ride was previously cancelled due to floods and shit and with the Bathurst Super V8's on Sunday the ride was moved to the Saturday. Congrats to Webby and Jodie for organising a very good ride and i am sure they would have been happy with the turn up of 9 bikes (14 people) and everything going to plan. I had never been to Redesdale Hotel before but what a nice little pub it is. Thanks to those who went for making it was a great day. Bird

WALWA SEPT 25TH 2010

What a great trip, first of all we had the entrance of Gundy arriving on his brand spanking new Victory...... had a grin on his kisser like a rat with a gold tooth and so he should have, the colour, the looks, the sound and the preformance are all to be proud of..... but don't tell him i said that. Nine riders left and all came back so that was a good thing. The weather was very kind and we all know what happened in the footy. First trip away for Dean on his sporty and he said he enjoyed the whole weekend. At the pub it was probably better than i expected with the publican putting on some nibblies for us during the afternoon and some of the supporters were very entertaining to watch thus making it all good fun. Hope all who went had a good time too.Bird

MOONAMBEL RIDE 21st 22nd AUGUST

CANCELLED DUE TO FLOODED SITE AT PUB AND SHIT WEATHER .Bird

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
