To all at Sunday's ride who heard my comments about a missing brother motorcyclist from another club of which I am a member, I can now report the sad news that Peter Clark, missing from a Wednesday midweek ride, was found deceased in central Victoria late Sunday afternoon. By all accounts, it was a mercifully swift end, but as they say, there, but for the grace of God, go any one of us. I only met him once (I think, although it may have been twice) but he impressed me as a really nice bloke!! I feel for his family, friends and those responsible for the ride. I ha

Greg’s 13th August 2017 Peninsula Ride
On possibly the nicest winter day in a long time, Greg Gleason led a group of 12 riders down the Peninsula for 206km of riding pleasure. It was good to welcome Brett to only his second Ulysses ride – from the Werribee area, he covered a lot of ground to share the ride with us.

This is my annual ride to Lorne with the date selected to have the best chance of good weather. Leaving from Ardeer we head off west through the Brisbane Ranges and up through Anakie and Steiglitz along some great roads. Morning tea is at Meredith followed by a scenic trip through the farming lands and down through the hills of Deans Marsh to Lorne for lunch at the beach. The trip home is then along the iconic Great Ocean Road.
