ULYSSES
Last Wednesday was a good day for a ride and seven took advantage of the conditions.
So Mark and his mate Brett on another Harley, Oscar on his Spyder, Fred and Gino riding their BMWs our mate from the Hospital on his Yama Harley and I am missing someone but we will find him later.
They took off through Junee, over to Cootamundra, up to Harden, across to Jugiong and then down the Hume to Gundagai where they propped for lunch.
Just gotta fit a feed in somewhere.
After lunch, it was back to Wagga down the Hume to the Sturt and then home.
It was a great day out in great weather and enjoyed by all with no one getting lost!
Saturday Meet and Greet saw a small gathering sampling the coffee and snacks with the usual discussions on saving the world and everyone else's problems but their own.
This Sunday's ride will be off to Tallangatta, down Victoria way.
Be ready to leave McDonalds' Edward Street Car Park at 9.30am.
I suggest that if you get there at about 8.45am to 9am you could slip a McCoffee and a McBurger in for McBreakfast before you go.
On Sunday, August 18, the annual pilgrimage to Morundah will take place, once again leaving Maccas at 9.30am.
At the Morundah pilgrimage, we meet up with Albury-Wodonga and Griffith members for a smashing lunch.
This year we have new owners but I am sure the quality will be just the same so make sure you get there at about 12 noon.
The big one to look forward to will be the Tri-Branch weekend at The Lake Talbot Caravan Park in Narrandera on the 6th, 7th and 8th of September.
Here we meet up with Griffith and Albury-Wodonga for a fun -filled weekend.
I will put more details in this column in a couple of weeks time.
The Wagga Branch meeting for August will be on the 20th at the Radio Club Rooms in Small Street starting at 7.30pm.
Get there a bit earlier for some pre-meeting fellowship.
We Have been fairly fortunate with the weather of late so get those machines out of the shed and enjoy the ride and company of fellow riders.
Ride legal and ride safe.

Sunday am Mixed Blind Draw was a win to Ian Williams and Joel Jensen with 21 points. This win was the first win in competition to our vision-impaired bowler Joel Jensen and was a just reward for the hard work put in by Joel to establish himself in the game.
Bowlers playing on other rinks were amazed at the bowls being put down by Joel as he was right on target and not far off the kitty with most of his bowls.
Proudly watching proceedings was Joel's Guide Dog Nicci and his hardworking coach Kevin Smith who has done wonders in bringing this young bowler along. Runner-up prize was claimed by Ken Morden and Frank Boyd with a total of 18 points.
