Ulysses
We had a good roll up for last week’s midweek ride with three spyders and five bikes at the starting grid. Smithy was out of contention after an operation and wasn’t quite up to braving the elements, and I have an appointment every Wednesday at 9am which puts me out of the loop for another month.
The team trundled over to Cootamundra where they stopped for another of those coffee intakes and then all went over to Gundagai for lunch at the Services Club.
Wednesday rides are judged on miles per gallon and feeds per hour. After a very pleasant lunch the group came home down the Hume and Sturt highways. Oscar and Crafty peeled off at Cootamundra and came home to attend to family matters.
At our branch meeting last week it was decided that we will dispense with Christmas in July and just meet for a meal at Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant, in Kincaid Street. I will advise you of the full details in next week’s Leader. Ten came along to Meet and Greet on Saturday and we had a very pleasant morning – inside where it was warm.
There was no official ride on Sunday and our next one will be on Sunday July 1 going to the Junee Jam and on the 15th we will have a ride to Narrandera, Ardlethan and Temora. Lunch will be at Temora. Then on August 5 the annual gathering with Albury and Griffith will take place at the Morundah Hotel, where mien host always puts on a good feed.
Another gathering to look forward to is the Tri-Branch Weekend at Yackandandah. Albury/Wodonga are the hosts this year and the dates are Friday August 31, Saturday and Sunday September 1 and 2.
The venue is the Yackandandah Holiday Park and if you want to book a cabin give them a call on 02 6027 1380. Tell them you are with the Ulysses Club function. The organisers have got a good calendar of events and we will give you more details as the time gets closer.
The Toy Run Committee is getting up to speed and has got a few events and fundraisers booked leading up to the run which is set down for Saturday December 1.
We can only hope we don’t get a massive downpour of rain on the day which forced us to cancel the run. It didn’t stop us from giving the charities a truck load of toys we had collected during the year.
On Saturday October 13 the Toy Run Launch will take place in front of the Council Chambers in Baylis Street and it is hoped we can put on a family morning for young and old.
Things are looking up with membership of Ulysses in Australia starting to rise again and with your help we can make it really ramp up. From humble beginnings on December 6 1983 a small gathering of motorcyclists met at the Sydney Hotel under the leadership of Stephan Dearnley and on February 7 1984 the club was formed with 25 initial members.
It is the largest organisation of its kind with over 138 branches in Australia and it now has branches in Germany, Vietnam, South Africa, Norway, Zimbabwe, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Cuba, and New Zealand with external members of the Australian club in Italy, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Fiji, China, Austria, Thailand and the United States.
So there you have it ... get that bike out of the shed and come and enjoy some great riding. Wednesday rides leave Billy’s Café, in Gurwood Street at 9:30am after those present have made a decision as to where to go.
Sunday rides are on the first and third Sunday of each month and leave from McDonalds Edward Street Car Park at 9:30am, and, of course, there is nothing to stop members organising rides among themselves at other times. And last, but not least, we have Meet and Greet at Billy’s Café on Saturday mornings at 10am.

The Vets played a Stableford event on Monday with Don Thorn producing the goods with a solid 33 nett on a count back from Peter Kirkman. Thursday saw a new contender for the title with Robert Hodge blasting through for a victory with a nett 34 nett one clear of Peter Briggs on 35 nett.
The Ladies are halfway through their club championships with Division one Jenny Hazell currently on 189 scratch two shots ahead of June Byrnes 191, and in a tie for the nett we have Lorraine hickey going head-to-head with June Byrnes.
