SA - Lake Albert Ride

Article by Allister Green

THANKS TO DEREK, WAYNE, KIERAN AND MY PAL RAY (CBX CLUB) FOR JOINING IN ON THE RIDE AROUND LAKE ALBERT.

We met the Victoria Hotel and went the scenic route to Strathalbyn where we refuelled and then headed for Wellington were things got a bit windy! Too much for Wayne on the Goldwing and he decided to head home.

Four of us pushed on and caught the ferry over a choppy Murray River! Turned for Meningie and the wind was behind us making it a good ride down to Lake Albert for a rest stop at a nice picnic stop by the lake.

We then pushed on around Lake Albert to Narrung with space to stretch the legs a bit! Onto another ferry over Lake Albert and looped back to Wellington and over ferry again to cross the Murray River and back into the wind tunnel.

Leaning hard into the wind, coming off of Lake Alexandrina, to keep it upright was hard work. Back to Strathalbyn and then off home our separate ways.

Over 300k’s for the day and a good time was had with some great guys!

Do it again one day - without the wind!
