Ulysses
Six or seven riders took off on an adventure last Wednesday and ended up all over the countryside.
First up they headed down the Old Narrandera Road and took the turn left, which took them across to Collingullie and then The Rock.
From The Rock, the road less travelled saw them on the Mangoplah Road and then a trip down to Cookardinia across Morven and Culcairn for lunch at the bakery.
After a lengthy stop at the bakery, the procession then headed home to Wagga up the Olympic Way through Uranquinty.
A good day out in pretty decent weather.
Meet and Greet at The Kylie Bean Café (Billy's) was reasonably well attended in the warmth of the back room. I have to say the day was not that brilliant but then again it is winter.
I couldn't get much detail on the Sunday ride but Mick and a couple of mates went up to Young and met up with one of the Orange crew and returned back home through Stockinbingal, Combaning, and Junee Reefs.
Once again a nice short ride in brisk winter weather.
GOOGLE MAP
The Google Map of all the branches is a useful resource, and can be used to provide information for new members, or for those travelling. It is kept up to date by the National Admin Office, who use the information provided in the Branch Committee Contact Form, which every branch should complete after their AGM, or for any change in the branch committee.
The October 31 is the deadline for articles for the Spring edition of the Riding On - your magazine. We all love reading about your short / long / funny / adventurous rides or social events. Tell us what you or the Branch has been up to.
Share your favourite destinations. Is your Branch celebrating a milestone - how about writing a Branch Capsule - some history, some photos, some events that your Branch ran or participated in; tell us about your Branch heroes and what they have done.
Stories about restorations you've been doing, or log and short trips you've done. We'd love to read about it! The Riding On is your magazine and we welcome your input.
As I said last week, I will keep you posted on the Christmas in July ride on July 7 next week.
Ride safe and steady and watch out for black ice on some of the mountain roads.

Orienteering
The extended Seaman family led WaggaRoos to a comfortable victory in event 4 of the Interclub Orienteering Challenge at Connorton last Sunday.
Seven-year-old Ryder Seaman won the Easy course; his father, Trent, won the Moderate course; his mother, Briohny, won the long Hard course; and his grandmother, Deb Davey, won the short Hard course to guide WaggaRoos to a 52:38 victory for the day and consolidate the overall lead in the Interclub Orienteering Challenge.
In the Interclub Orienteering Challenge points are awarded to participants for participating and completing their course and to the placegetters in each course. The points earned by placegetters are weighted in favour of the longer and harder navigation courses.
The first part of the 1400m Easy Course involved a nice downhill section along a well-formed track, then led participants along a small path before a long uphill climb across semi-open farmland along a watercourse. Ryder Seaman coped admirably winning by almost 10 minutes and gain handicap honours for the day.
There was a good tussle for second place with the Hatherly family group just gaining the ascendancy over Kath Oliver by a mere 9 seconds. Six-year-old Jarrah Mestan finished fourth.
Because there were no Albury representatives on this course WaggaRoos amassed a valuable 14 points.
The 2.8km Moderate Course alternated between the farmland and woodland that had numerous discrete rock features. As well as testing navigational ability across the hills, it also involved a couple of steep climbs that tested physical abilities as well.
Trent Seaman did an excellent job for WaggaRoos winning the course finishing almost five minutes ahead of Josh Roy, Albury's first orienteer to finish. ACT's Ann Scown finished in third place. WaggaRoos Dale Clegg and Wes Campbell then held off Albury's John Trevivian to ensure WaggaRoos won the Moderate course 14:7.
The hard courses took participants into some complex rock terrain and across numerous steep hills. Participants had to be careful not to get too far off their line because relocating proved to be difficult and invariably required another steep climb.
One control site, in particular, proved to be the undoing of several orienteers possibly because of its location halfway up a hillside and with many of the nearby attack features appearing to be similar enough to cause confusion. It was those who found this control site quickly who did well.
On the 3.5km Hard Course, WaggaRoos Deb Davey found it quickly and had a very comfortable victory, winning by almost 11 minutes. In the context of the Interclub Challenge points, this course was a much more even affair.
Rick Armstrong finished second to score valuable points for Albury. John Oliver (W) then managed to finish third ahead of Albury's Liz Wood and grab the remaining bonus points and give WaggaRoos a slight advantage.
This was enhanced when Shani Rajasekera (W) finished and the remaining three Albury orienteers failed to finish giving WaggaRoos a 14:11 win on this course.
Albury did have some success on the 4.9km Hard Course. WaggaRoos Briohny Seaman had a strong win but then four Albury participants finished before WaggaRoos Tadeusz Davenport and Lachlan Campbell to give Albury a 20:10 points win on this course.
On the day though, WaggaRoos prevailed with a 52:38 point win and at the halfway point WaggaRoos lead the series 187:174.
Event 5 in the Interclub Orienteering Challenge will be conducted on Sunday, July 7, at 9 mile Hill near Albury.
The next local event will be on Sunday, June 30, at Pomingalarna Park commencing at 10 am. The start will be at the western entrance to Pomingalarna Park about 500m west of Kapooka Rd (San Isadore turnoff).
