Rumours that the Kalkallo start point is not popular and could be dropped were quashed by a strong turnout of 15 bikes for today's ride to Malmsbury in fine autumn weather. And with a bit of trading at Woodend we lost three and gained three!
Seven Melbourne Ulysseans did our bit for the country by travelling “overseas” for an 8 day ride in Tasmania. Barry, Colin, Jeff, John, Pat and Steve joined me in Port Melbourne on Sunday 18 April - last day of school holidays.
We sailed overnight, shared a few lies over drinks, slept in cabins and arrived in Devonport early on Monday fresh and ready to ride.
Sunday 25th April 2021
Leader : Andrew Kennedy
Tail End Charlie : Sam Sun
Other Riders : Mike, Jack, Carl and Dora, Dennis, Nick, George
A quick check of the weather radar before leaving home showed a mostly clear map, except for Phillip Island ! Nevertheless 8 riders pulled up, including Dennis who arrived 10 minutes late – no time for a smoke !, and he nearly got the TEC vest. We welcomed George for his first ride with us, after being talked into it by cousin Nick (good work).
It was a “long” weekend, the weather was even warmer than predicted so it was great to see a really good number of people turn up at Lilydale to enjoy Colin’s ride to Kilmore.
