PORT ALBERT JANUARY 22nd 23rd 2011

First ride for 2011 will be a beauty thru some of the best riding available to bikers in Victoria. It will be 411 k's in distance, so it ain't no run to the shop. 15 beds are available at the pub at $25 per head. The pub happens to be right on the wharf which will be interesting, other than that can't tell you much more 'cause I have never been there. Please let me know if you are going to come along and ask a fellow bike rider who you think might enjoy it as well. Bird

DEDERANG 20th 21st NOVEMBER 2010

This ride is starting to become one of my favourites it has everything a bike rider requires, good roads, lots of bends, hills, views, fast bits, technical bits, good pubs and a very comfortable place to stay when we get there. If you add the good company to that it is easy to see why I enjoy it so much. Ten bikes left Mooroopna on Saturday morning, 9 went all the way to the pub, 2 left early Sunday morning but one came back and stayed with us most of the way home, so it was a bit hard to remember how many we had at times. I suppose the best thing is that we all came home safe, some a bit sick but safe anyway. Cheers Bird

MAD MOB PARTY NOV 27th 2010

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
