Most Bailed Out on a Wet Ride to Bindoon
Posted: Sun 12 Jun, 2022 3:29 pm
A subdued turn up today with Jamie "dropping in" and Alan turning up with an immaculate R90S.
The Sunday Ride was selected to include the finish of the Tripping Tiddlers event at Toads in the Chittering Valley. Wightman, Nick, Guy, Rhonda, Peter Bee and Bozo headed for a loop through the Bickley Valley, past Mundaring Weir, through Parkerville, down O'Brien Road, through the woops on Lancewood Road and via Gingers. The misty rain meant many grazing kangaroos were still visible. We were lucky when a mob of thirty that were close to Fern Road chose to hop bushwards instead of across our path. Another 20 roos were happily grazing in a paddock off Roland Road with a further 10 just off Campersic Drive. The rain had been OK up until Gingers but after Bullsbrook it was soaking. We made it to Toads in time for the finish of the Tripping Tiddlers event. Club members Ted, Wightman and Alex competed and Nev provided support.
Nick had turned off and we lost Guy with bike troubles. Rhonda and Wightman stayed at Toad's leaving only two to finish the run to Bindoon.
Peter and Bozo arrived with saturated bike gear and were the only two motorcyclists at the Bindoon Bakehaus.
Warm bakery products were very welcome and the return trip was delayed to minimise further immersion.
Thanks to Peter Bee for running as tail end Charlie and for persevering through the rain.
