What a great ride this was. Andy did the organising and
suggested to the people at Wilyung that there would be around 12
or 16 coming for a look and to indulge in morning tea.
As we waited on beautiful sunny Sunday for everybody to turn up
the numbers swelled from 10 to 20, then 30 and finally at least
40 members and family. I think Andy was a bit surprised to say
the least.
We thought we would start off the ride by heading to Chester
and Trudy’s place to have a look at the new trailer shed. Lez
Baines was doing back-up and would meet us there (its only
around the corner from the information bay meeting place on
Chester Pass Road).
After inspecting the shed and telling everyone the secret
number for the combination lock we headed off on the ride.
Except for Andy and Chester who instead bolted for Wilyung
Cottage to give them the numbers that were to shortly arrive.
This sent them into a bit of a frenzy to make sure there were
enough scones and hot water for the masses. The rest of us took
off on a ride to Bon Accord Rd, Nanarup Road, Hunton and Chester
Pass Road.
There was the usual variety of bikes on the ride with quite a
number of older bikes. Gary Carlsen turned up on his new
Oztrike, which is certainly different with raked out forks and
VW motor. It was good to see members from Denmark turn up and
especially Lez Baines who did back-up duties. Lez is a real
asset to the Club who helps a lot with screen printing stickers
in particular, well done mate.
When we arrived at Wilyung Cottage, which incidentally has a lot
of antiques and old vehicles on display (including a BSA 250) we
were greeted by the sounds of a guy playing a violin, Asha. He
apparently had arrived to buy the violin and was persuaded to
hang around and play a few pieces. He was very good and so was
the applause.
There was a tin and for $5 you got scones, jam and cream, tea or
coffee and the proceeds went to the Hospice. The people there
did a fabulous job and were thanked by Andy for doing so.
It was a great morning, maybe we should do it again at a future
date. Well done Andy for organising it.
Thanks again to Lez for coming in from Denmark to tow the
trailer and also for producing the excellent sponsor signs on
the trailer.
