I am booked for the Bridgetown one day Black Dog ride.
Current planning is to start out Saturday afternoon for ride overnighting in Collie. Then an hour run in the morning to Bridgetown to join the Blackdog.

The Bridgetown Black Dog was attend by Kimberly and Brian/5. The ride was approx. 250kms. The 1200GS made it from Collie with only 25kms left in the tank. Starting from Bridgetown the ride went via Manjimup & Pemberton to Nannup for morning tea. Then across the Brockman Hwy and up Sues Road to Busselton for Lunch. A few other BM's seen on the ride. Estimates were between 500 - 600 bikes on the run. Yet to be confirmed.
Good run home via South West Hwy and Hopelands Rd.

Avon Valley ride went well, over 300 bikes turned out for the inaugural event, around 15 BMW's, a wide mixture of brands, with majority of the flock being HD's, catering in Beverly was fantastic $5 a head - all you can eat, for sandwiches, scones, jam & cream, cakes tea & coffee - all with a smile.

Managed to catch up with some old friends, fellow club members and met some new people along the way - I would recommend the event to others for inclusion on their calendar for next year.

Black Dog Rides are also raffling a RnineT - 2000 tickets at $50 each, as part of their national fund raising efforts.
