ell after what seemed like months of rain and cold, ain’t it grand to have Queensland winter weather to ride in? I have been making the most of it with club rides and also solo meanderings in the valleys and hills of the Scenic Rim and the Tweed Valley. Both my bikes have new “shoes” and it seemed necessary to spend many miles scrubbing them in. This is a great time of the year to own and ride a motorcycle.
I see that Smart Rider is currently offering a version 2 course in road craft. You can never have too much training and I think these guys seem to know what they are talking about. Worthwhile checking it out. Well July is shaping up to be the “travelling” month. Kingaroy for the Christmas in July (always a great weekend riding in the Bunya’s and the Mary Valley) and then The mysterious “Frigid Digit” promises to be a fun camping weekend. I think there is already about 30 who have indicated to Gary they will be attending. First week of August is the famous “Biscuit Ride” organised by Maggie and Peter Todd. A great weekend in Tenterfield with so many ways to get there and return. Last week was our second service day of the year and what a great turn out it produced. We have to thank Rob Wynne for allowing the use of his great facilities. These service days are a big hit with lots of members coming and going for most of the morning and some producing interesting issues to solve. The collective knowledge available from members ensures everyone learns something new every time. Hopefully two more this year. The Christmas party is being held in Evans Head on Saturday night 10th December. We always enjoy the venues in town and they love having us. Make sure you reserve your accommodation early as the party coincides with the start of the school holidays. Full details in this journal and on Facebook and the website. Hope to catch you at one of the many July events. Ride safe. Cheers, Paul
