We’re all going to
Gorgeous hot riding weather for this somewhat confusing (to some) ride. As we went to Goulburn last weekend via Crookwell, the ride leader changed the ride to Bowral - which as everyone knows is an equally beaut ride. 24 riders rolled up to Nicholls on the day - which proves that “Ian in Charge” is a total drawcard (authors note.…only a few were women)
We left on time from Nicholls, and Trevor led the first part of the ride my favourite back way through Mabo Bvd and East Tallangandra Lane to Sutton.
We took Macs Reef Road out to Bungendore, where we picked up 5 more. We rode out to Tarago, where we lost one that headed back to Canberra to do some ‘work’. On arrival at Marulan for our scheduled coffee stop, we then lost 4 - and one other disappeared to give Macquarie Pass a go. Seems “Ian in Charge” is not such a drawcard after all.
There were a number of notable incidents on the day - Genelle’s altercation with the gravel in a 35km/h corner on her brand spanking new tyres - ready, steady, wiggle !!!
Peter Arday had an altercation with the same corner where the gravel tried to spit him out the other side so he drove over the top of the roadside marker pole to avoid injury to man or bike. Awesome job Pete - thats exactly why those poles are made like kids bouncy clowns (kind of) !
Andrew Campbell’s top box decided to part company with the back of his bike at speed and at head height for the rider behind - Trevor is such a slacker - he didn’t even try to catch it from what I heard.
“Ian in Charge” told us a great true story at lunch about his unruly man bits being held together by a playboy G string on a trip with Suzanne and Peter ….. that one should probably go into the archives never to be told again.
A great ride, great food, great conversation and an equally great way to spend a Sunday.
