Report on Golden Ponds Pre-31 Run…12th May 2024
We had 4 ‘bikes attend, a BSA & 2 Indians, all 1928, & the oldest-registered ‘bike in WA, a Romania of 1903!! Leon drove the back-up (thanks mate).
Due to its age, the Romania went early & direct to the mid-stop, while the modern (1928!) 3 rode a more circuitous route to meet up at Mundijong for a coffee. The return route was shortened to get to lunch sooner, & we passed the Romania just before Golden Ponds. All had a great ride on this ride on good flat country, & Leon had no customers for the back-up. We were met by two more members who were unable to ride, but unfortunately as it was Mother’s Day, we hadn’t booked our lunch, so had to settle for coffee & carrot cake & a good chinwag.
I will make sure this clash doesn’t happen next year.
Report on Oakover Mystery Run…19th May 2024
We start this run from the Oakover Winery in Middle Swan, & normally we can get breakfast, but they didn’t open till 11!
We had 7 ‘bikes of various ages riding, & I brought another on the back-up, hoping to ride if anyone broke down, but nobody did. This run takes in some quite hilly country & it was even enjoyable from the car, so the riders had a great day. We had a coffee stop in Gidgey Gannup, then returned to Oakover by a similarly sinuous route for more chin-wagging & a light lunch. This ride is open to all members & covers some great views of the Scarp, so put it in your calendar for next year.
