14 bikes turned up at Hawthorn Crescent, 10 o’clock started us up Greenhill Rd, to Balhannah, Littlehampton and Nairne, where we stopped at the public loos for a few minutes. Then down the Old Murray Bridge Rd, to the Monarto, turn off, through Monarto, to the Mannum Rd, turning right at Adelaide Rd, and onto Mannum, a right turn on Neil St, and we were at the museum.
None of us had been to the museum at Mannum before, but a few had visited when it was at Peterborough. It is a splendid display of mostly smaller bikes many we had never heard of, but some well known makes as well. A 50cc Ducati, was a bit of a surprise!
A bit after 12 we mounted up and rode to the Mannum Community Club for lunch. The club was very welcoming, the meals excellent and the prices affordable.
It required a little prodding to get the guys back on their bikes, but by 1:45pm we were on the road again riding to Walker Flat where one of us filled up, then straight to Mount Pleasant, where we split up.
A very enjoyable ride, we will definitely do it again!
Thanks to Louis for riding Tail End all day and to all the riders thanks for the company!
Next ride: Tuesday 4th June, Ray Hill will be leading us on a mystery ride leaving Hawthorn Crescent 10am.
Allan Vaisham, Club Captain.
