A good mob remembered Paul Keller by taking a Sunday Ride to his favourite destination, Quindanning. Picture is of Paul with his mates Swampy and Wes a few years ago. Paul was a very active club member and a keen Sunday rider.

Mutimedia Mark had just acquired a very smart looking R1100S.

The group of over 20 riders included Cookie, Peter Bee, Rod Rocket Peter, Ted, Nick, Rob, Rainer, Wightman, Dave, DFS, R90S Mark, Richard, Big Steve, JC, Andrew, Medic Mike, Multimedia Mark, Survey Ross, Wes, Swampy and Bozo.

The route to Quindanning took us past Canning Dam, through an abandoned North Bannister, past a prosperous Wandering, a jink at Crossman and a refuel for some at Boddington. A short delay at North Bannister trying to work out how to slide release windscreen screw covers when the screws were loose. Big Steve and DFS were amongst the helpers that sorted the problem.

On arriving at Quindanning, we were told of an imminent group of 100 arriving, so rushed to order. Ran into Bunbury based BMWMCC Member Gary Probin with the bike he hopes to sell.

The run home was on the Lower Hotham Road to Dwellingup where several riders were happy to see the BP servo back in business. A jink around the Huntley minesite and a run down Redheads Road got us to the Hopeland Road run home.

Thanks to the group for being patient and sorting out the issues that arrived. Thanks to R90S Mark for running as tail end Charlie.

A terrific turnout for a great club member on what turned out to be a rather chilly ride for some, apart from Gary Probin who was demonstrating the benefits of a heated vest ( As worn on Mount Everest) by wondering around without a jacket!!

Many thanks to Bozo for once again leading another very successful ride to Quindanning. Cheers mate!!

Planning the ride on a "Mothers Day" Sunday was not one of my better efforts but it was a fantastic turnout all the same so Thank you to all of you that participated for either a short or long ride!!

It just reinforces in my mind what a great club this is!!

I was a later starter as I was out late last night making sure my wife and my son with his wife left Perth Airport on time, the former for 5 weeks in Danmark (Europe) visiting rele's and the latter for 10 weeks all over Europe and Asia!!

My Weight loss programme begins today!! :shock:

Regards to All

Thanks Bozo and Swampy for your respective efforts, and yes, despite Mothers day commitments, a great turnout in near perfect riding conditions.
