Neka Ride - Sunday 7th September

A very brief ride report: about 7 of us met at loftus for the 9am sharp departure (ha ha!) .

Leaving a few minutes after Neka's mad mates we headed down to Stanwell Tops, Mt Kiera up to the Robbo pie shop
and then to Picton. A nice easy sunday ride.

Neka, I won't spoil your online reputation.....
but thanks for a great day and look forward to seeing you next
time your over, have a good trip back to S.A.

Kangroo Valley Weekend Away - 13th ,14th Sept

Friday night's thunder and lightening had made everyone paranoid about the weekend away, but the sun was up bright and early for us on Saturday - someone must have had a word with the woman upstairs! There was a fair bunch of us along for the ride: the hardcases staying overnight, and a few extras coming along for the day, plus SteveB and cruiserchick Ruth *DUCK!* who met us at Robbo.

And so we set off along SteveH's carefully planned route of regular coffee stops! This is the life :) It was a bit windy along the ridges, but the day was gorgeous and the roads were empty of cages.. all bar our lovely VW Combi support vehicle, ably manned by SteveS and Carolyn. I was extra happy too, having convinced Rob to ride the GPX for a day so I could have the SV, MWAHAHAHA!! By the time we
finally hit Kangaroo Valley I was already planning next weekend's tour of bike shops..

The campsite was good, the pub was better, and the covered
bbq/campfire area was just fantastic. We worked our way through the night, fueled by take-away pre-mixed drinks and a little guitar- playing from Rob and SteveS. We also got a wee surprise in the form of Srool (typical!), and Gazza too. The only thing that was missing was marshmallows, but these were easily forgotten as soon as we tried SteveH's most excellent fry-up in the morning!

Finally it was time to head home. SJ, Liam and Sean met us at the campsite at midday - I think that tops Srool's record for being late! :) - and off we went. The group split at Robbo, some heading home via Picton and others via Wollongong and the Nasho, still in the
beautiful sunshine. Ok so the freeway wasn't that exciting, and the wind blew hot chocolate all over my lovely hotdog, but that's not the point - I had a fantastic weekend, and I got to ride the SV!!

Sunday 05/10/03 – Putty/Singleton Ride

Ride Cancelled, or not.

About 8 bikes turned up for a run to the Halfway house. We left McGrath's Hill around 9:45 for the run down the Putty Rd. Once out the other side of Colo there where only a few cages and one Police vechile. It was a 4WD traveling in the other direction so it had no chance of catching back up to us.

Everyone made it to the Halfway house in one piece, coffee was drunk and stories told. After we all had a break it was time to head off again. With the rain clouds starting to build and the Moto GP on it was decided to head back to Windsor.

I arrived home dry and in time to watch the end of the 125 on Foxtel, I had a great run today and hope every one got home safetly.

None of the usual camera men where along so no pics today.
