The weather was perfect for the start, and remained so for the day. Ten riders travelled over to Springton and up the main highway to Angaston. Most participants chose to enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Bakery, but Joe Betschart retired early heading South to meet other commitment_s in the afternoon.

The remainder of the entrants returned to Williamstown via Nuriootpa and Lyndoch, and again no significant problems were experienced.

Thanks go to the marshals Tony Earnshaw, and Mick Hayes, who looked after the comers, and to Paul David who operated the Tail End Charlie position.

Wayne Williams accompanied by Alan Wallis manned the pick/up vehicle and trailer. There were no” customers” and so they had an easy day. ·
