he end of March already. The year is flying by. We are starting to enjoy idyllic Autumn weather for riding. The temperatures are down and in most cases the sun is out. Time to get out and enjoy some the best riding Australia has to offer.
I was very proud to be a member of a club that showed its care for other member’s misfortune resulting from the recent catastrophic floods. Watching members turn up every day to face the daunting task of a mammoth clean up at MMM Boxerworks just goes to show you what 64 years of the club has resulted in. To all those who pitched in at any stage and all those who showed they cared to Mark, thank you. The spirit lives on and shows why we are such a great club. I have just returned from the “Poker Run”, an awesome meander down back roads in our Scenic Rim. 350 km of great riding for the day and especially great experiences shared with good friends. Nice to see new members coming back to the second and third event. We must be doing something right. The Events Coordinator has been busy with a long list of monthly events that hold a fair bit of variety for everyone to pick from and also some major events. The Cane Toad Rally is on Anzac weekend and should not be missed. A great event getting better every year. Christmas In July, a firm favourite, is on in Kingaroy again. Come along and help spread the love into our regional areas. The National Motarrad Rally (notices in this Journal and FB) is on in June. Don’t miss the opportunity of attending and book now. I see quite a few members have availed themselves of the “Smartrider” training days and the club subsidy that pays for this one. If you haven’t signed up yet you will miss an interesting and informative day with a catch-up on road craft. Well worth the effort. You will have a get yourself on the ride on Easter Saturday to Maidenwell pub. Come along and join in a visit to this rustic heritage pub sitting in the shadow of Bunya Mountain. Lots of ways to get there and back, both tar and dirt. I am attending the BMW Clubs Australia AGM in Melbourne in early April and hopefully will have lots to report in the next journal. The BCCM web casts continue at 7 pm on the last Friday of each month until further notice. Ride safe and make sure you enjoy it. Cheers Paul The only way to travel, 162,000km!
