Wednesday Rides

Only seven die-hards fronted up for today’s ride which took us on a circuitous route around the rain showers to Neerim South, Yarra Junction, Launching Place and Emerald. We terminated the ride with a surprise good will visit to “the Baron’s” house where he is convalescing after harassing the nursing staff of the Monash Medical Centre for a few days.

Actually, there was only one die hard and six pretenders. Frank Ibbott returned from a six day trip to Coffs Harbour late on Tuesday and was raring to try out his new CBF 900 with the Wednesday Mob at 9.30 on Wednesday. What’s the secret, Frank???

HOW TO GET ROUTED BY THE 'BARON'

Lets set the scene imagine the pre- ride talk by the ride leader 'We'll go from here to Lang Lang thru to Poowong cut across to Arrawata and on to Mirboo Nth for morning cuppa from there to the Buln Buln road and to the Robin Hood for lunch...all sounds pretty simple.... but for one fact....THE BARON. Well we made to Arrawata alright and that is were it all went pear shape not that you would know it by The Baron persistence to keep going. Apparently we missed a RIGHT turn any way after a few k's [like twenty] of gravel, dirt, cow sh!! we finally found our selves back at...guess where.........Arrawata. Didn't make Mirboo nth ..or Buln Buln road or the Robin Hood but never the less it was a brilliant ride absolutely great scenery that a lot of people wouldn't have known existed this was evident by the cows scattered as we went by. Finished of with coffee at Tooradin after which Frank went with Gary to pick up a trailer and Gary's bike [trail bike] it decided it had had enough at Bena and just stopped I guess it was tired. Thanks again Mike Shuett [Baron].....Alan Lindley

Wednesday 14th May

the weather was looking great.
So the lucky Two Bays Ulysses riders that were able to go on a ride; all turned up at the Coffee Shop in Baxter, arriving and lining up in front of the shop.
After friendly hand shakes and Greetings and looking at motor bikes and so; Baron (Mike Schuett) announced that he would lead the ride.
He said that we would ride straight up the Baxter Tooradin Road to the South Gippsland HWY, turn right on to it and follow it to the
turn off to Nyora.
From there we followed him around through the hills and bends of Gippsland.
Some of the scenery was very beautiful and it was great riding on such a great day.
We stopped about 11-05 for a brake and to have a drink.
Baron said that we would then ride on down to Phillip Island, so off we went again riding around through the hills and winding roads.
We road into San Remo were the corner marker was standing and pointing for us to go on over the Bridge, we road about a K M and a half, and turn left into the Vietnam War Museum,
Its a little off the road with a gravel road leading in they have space for parking in the yard behind and on the side of the Building.
In the yard there is a Canberra Bomber fuselage which was in the War.
In side they have a display of things to buy, also the office to pay to enter the exhibition.
It cost each of us $5.00 and it was worth every cent, the information and the display is terrific.
There is a Hologram there which explains every thing about the War and what went on and happened
I found this very interesting as I learnt things that I never heard before it was truly a great experience and I will remember it for a long
time.
After seeing the Museum we road back to San Remo and had our lunch (fish and Potato cakes) for me, and some of us sat at the tables and seats on the roof looking over the bay.
Then it was time to head back home some went straight on while some of us stopped at the Tooradin Airport for a drink, from there we went our own way back home.

Thank you Baron (Mike Schuett) for a great day

P/ S If you have not seen the Museum it is well worth a Visit.

Wednesday 8th April

''Oh what a beautiful morning'' could be heard from every one at the Baxter shopping centre, us included. Nine members started off on yet another glorious Wednesday ride. Luckily no one had done the previous Sunday ride so I pinched it from the Baron [thanks Mike Schuett]. So on that note there is not much point in telling every body where we went as it was the same as the last report EXCEPT that not every one reached the lunch spot suffice to say unless there is a corner marker we don't turn...Alan [President]
