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

  Despite the rain, 8 keen riders turned up at McGraths Hill all confident it would not rain out west. We did encounter the odd shower on the way to Bulga but arrived there for lunch in sunshine after a break at Grey Gums. The return however was somewhat wetter especially around Peats Ridge but the sun was out again for our farewells at The Pie.  I was on my KTM390 but everybody was able to keep up with me. I think the roads constantly changing between dry and wet deterred anybody from overtaking me!! Thanks to all for your company... another great day out riding. Peter (KTM)

  Well, what a week makes, raining last week and sunny this week. So 21 (including two ladies) riders decided to join in for what turned out to be a spectacular day for riding. The group was well behaved and we didn't lose anyone, although after morning tea at Wollombi some riders had to depart for other duties. The 16 remaining (including 1 lady) riders continued through Millfield, Paxton and to the Mount Sugarloaf lookout. The view was clear and you could almost see Erina beach. No issues raised over lunch and then off to PITS to finish off an enjoyable ride Regards Geoff Briggs
