Orange Ride 28-29th Oct 2026

  If you overlook the brutally strong winds we had on the first day of our ride, we've just come off the back of two of the nicest consecutive ride days of weather that we've had for a while.   Eleven off us set off from Pheasants Nest  on Wednesday morning  for a trip to Orange.  The long way round!   No sooner had we departed from the meeting point, we'd barely travelled a few kms down the freeway before we diverted off at Bargo and started meandering around the Southern Highlands. Yanderra, Yerrinbool, and even other places that don't start with a 'Y', like Bowral, Moss Vale, Exeter, Bundanoon and Bungonia. 90 minutes later, we arrived for morning tea in Goulburn where the first of many sausage rolls and coffees were consumed.   Lunch was to be in Oberon so, quite correctly, we started heading North from Goulburn along the fabulous road to Taralga before taking the Shooters Hill route into Oberon for refueling — both of riders and bikes.  Then ...

Way Out West Ride 2-3rd Sept 2026

-
  After a quick briefing 17 talented Riders (2 Ladies and 15 “Gentleman”) departed the Berowra 7 Eleven under clear Spring Sunny Skies at the scheduled   9:30am   earlier start time. As planned our group was joined by Karen Fitzgerald as we cruised by Jerry’s at Kulnura bringing the lady rider numbers up to three. Having Karen join us was a great relief to Allan Scott who was feeling very lost and lonely at the 7 Eleven departure point. The regroup at Wollombi went smoothly as we tracked a further 30k’s north to Broke for our morning tea break. At this point I was mindful of another well known rider Frank Henry from Armidale joining us at the township of Merriwa.  Having used all my amazing computing skills, Artificial Intelligence and other logarithms my ETA given to Frank was to optimistic, so I searched for his “roommate” Wayne whilst at Broke so he could update Frank of a new arrival time. Unfortunately Wayne decided to remain at a distance across the road at the...

Ave Atque Vale Bob Yonge

  Hi, it's taken me pretty well all day to come to terms. Bob Yonge told me this morning that he will depart this world tomorrow Wednesday. I have known Bob for nigh on 30 years so even though I totally agree and understand his decision it's still came as a a bolt. A lovely respected gentleman who will be sorely missed! He has chosen to die at his home with his family beside him. He said to say hello and goodbye!!! Erica

Chifley Dam Ride 30th May 2024

Thursday Ride to Chifley Dam. This week the Thursday Riders met at Maccas McGraths Hill. It was a chilly but sunny autumn morning. There were 17 starters and no new riders to the group. It was a nice ride along Bells Line of Road however there were three lots of road works where we had to wait for a Pilot Escort to continue. To avoid some traffic lights in Lithgow where the group usually gets split up, we turned left into Eskbank Street but missed turning right into Bent Street to make our way across to the Great Western Hwy via the Lithgow Small Arms Factory and Museum, however the corner marking kept the group together so we arrived at Bowenfels Olivers and Shell Service Centre together. Morning tea was had outdoors in front of Olivers. I was happy I got a small cappuccino and the best Lamington for only five bucks at the Shell Foodery. After morning tea four riders left the group to make their way back to attend to other things. The ride from Bowenfels took us to Tarana and past the...

Eleebana Ride 3rd July 2025

-
  Well , 13 hardy souls showed up to the Berowra start point . Must have had the same thoughts as me - weather clearing , let’s get out there ! Nobody got lost this time , except for myself, missing the Spring rd turnoff to the Bumble hill , embarrassing, but soon rectified.  Weather was quite nice , morning tea at the Dooralong Hall pleasant . Rob McKee left us  here , the rest carried on .  The second part of the ride went well , we all made it to Eleebana together . The conversation leant towards “ Health Problems “ probably due to the average age of us being relatively high .  A quick zap down the motorway to the Pie , with more discussion on various subjects. A good day out !  Regards  Peter ( Greeny) Greenwood
