Chris Herreen, led us on a Mystery Ride and 9 riders turned up, the weather was perfect for motorbikes. It turned out that the Mystery part of the ride was a stop at Hahndorf to play Mini Golf. We parked close to the golf links, very close to Otto’s Bakery, paid our $8- fees and started our round, at the beginning some tried to keep score but the scores were so depressing that almost all gave up and had fun. Every player was subjected to a considerable amount of useless advice, unhelpful suggestions and heckling from the watchers and many of us gave up on one or two of the holes. The whole event took about 40 minutes and when we finished we repaired to Otto’s Bakery to recovery and refreshments.

Ray Hill, agreed to lead after Otto’s and a brisk ride was requested. We rode through Littlehampton, Nairne, Brukunga, Birdwood and via back roads ended at Kersbrook Hotel. Ray managed to keep within the speed limits….. most of the time. Non of us felt inclined to have a sit down lunch so we spent half an hour in the carpark chatting and then went home. Your Club Captain, enjoyed the day very much. Any feed back from the others who rode with us would be much appreciated. Did you enjoy it and should we occasionally indulge in “Mystery Rides”?

Thanks to Chris and Ray for a very enjoyable ride!

Next Ride: Sunday 3rd May, Destination yet to be decided.

Allan Vaisham, Club Captain.

At 10am, 14 bikes left Hawthorn Crescent and followed Tony Mitchell, up Greenhill Rd, turning left at Swamp Rd, then Lobethal Rd, Tiers Rd, right turn in Woodside, on to Ambleside Rd, a zig zag in Hahndorf, took us to River Rd, and Echunga, where we stopped for a delicious morning Cuppa, at the Plough Cafe, a first time for the club rides, but not the last.

Morning break over we set out for Macclesfield, via Flaxley and Stamps Rd, then to Meadows, with a hard left turn onto Bull Creek Rd, right at Alexandrina Rd, left at Winery Rd, onto Finniss, Clayton and the Milang Bakery, where the remaining 7 riders had a relaxed and enjoyable lunch.
The ride more or less broke up in Milang, though most riders followed Tony to Strath and Meadows.
It was a particularly enjoyable ride, the traffic was light, the weather spectacular and Tony chose some memorable roads for us.
Thanks Tony! And thanks to all who rode with us!

Next ride: Sunday 1st June, leaving Hawthorn Crescent 10 sharp for River Ride Motorcycle Museum followed by lunch a the Mannum Community Club.
Be there or we will talk about you!
