Riding Across Australia

Submitted by sambateman on Mon, 08/12/2014 - 8:15pm

When the Ulysses AGM was scheduled for Alice Springs in 2014, my brother Alan and I thought it was an opportunity to complete a section of our 2010 round Australia ride.  Then we had planned to do the Gibb River Road, but when we got to Derby at the end of May 2010, the road was closed due to rain.  So what better than take off from the Alice to Hall Creek on the Tanami Road and travel the

The weather gods did not look kindly upon us for the 2014 Very Special kids event.  The previous night, most areas received considerable rainfall and this possibly contributed to the smaller than usual attendance numbers.  However, it did not deter the twenty families (eighty people) who attended from enjoying themselves and generally having a good time.  The weather eventually cleared and, apart from a few early showers, it remained dry and we even had some afternoon sunshine.

Hopefully I've attached a link to a video of a ride we did from Schipluiden to Maasland along The "Gaag" ( a canal) in the Netherlands.   It feels a bit weird riding on the right hand side of the road.  This particular road is two way, single lane with bicycle lanes on both sides.

05 Autumn Ice Run May 2014

Submitted by John_Cook on Thu, 29/05/2014 - 4:57pm

We had very mild weather in the fortnight leading up to the annual Ice Run and despite the fact that many were away in Alice Springs, or still returning, we ended up with 36 people attending this year’s ride.  Seventeen of us met at Dandenong and got under way promptly at 8.00am on Saturday 24 May in mild conditions with clouds looming further to the south and Samuel performing tail end duties.   We did a “transport” run along the Monash Freeway for about 80 km past
