Mid Week ride, Wed. 15th. Feb. 2012.
8 bikes and 13 riders and pillions met at the Magill meeting point, The Tower Hotel, for a pleasant hills ride to the Nova Coffee Lounge at Gawler, up Carlton Road to Balmoral Road and through to the intersection just north of Williamstown and on to Lyndock. Turn right, through to Tanunda, to the "Clubhouse" community club for a sit down, and my birthday lunch.
Thank you to those that sang, not very melodeously I might add. Seriously, what a lovely venue and meal. Good company for a good ride with good friends, what more can you ask for.
Mid Week ride, Wed. 18th. Jan. 2012.
7 bikes and 1 car with 10 1/2 people met for our mid week ride.
Large quantities of oil was noticed on Norm's back wheel and tyre. Further investigation revealed a U/S bearing and oil seal, with quite a bit of "grinding" noise, so back to his place for morning tea, leaving the bike and he and Helena travelling with Jennifer and Jacob, the "half", in her car for the day's run.
A bit annoying as both bearings and the seal were replaced before the around Australia trip.
A good day was had by all, with lunch at Subway in Clare. Home was via Martindale Hall, followed by icecream at the "Nova" in Gawler.
Fish and Chip run to Second Valley Sunday 8th. January 2012.
With only 2 runs so far this year it is difficult to say that this run was the best that we've had for a while, but it was, even though we experienced a couple of short but heavy showers early on, to be followed by a perfect day, except for the wind, a fantastic day was had by all the 18 people on 12 bikes. Oh, except for a new member, Harry ? who had an open face helmet, he left us at Aldinga.
We arrived a bit early for lunch at Leonards Mill but that gave us time for a mag and to take a few photos. Victor Harbor, Strathalbyn, Mt. Barker and home. What a good day.
Check out the photos in "Gallery".
Usual comment from me, Where were you?.
