Only three ventured out last week, Les Oscar and Woody. Gerhard had a dentist appointment at 9 and was going to catch up if time permitted but he didn't make it.

Gino turned up at 9am only to find the riders had left and it was at this point he had battery trouble; we got him going and sent him on his way, but that was the last anybody saw of him that day.

It was an interesting ride with the first leg being through Holbrook, Jingellic and Walwa.

From Walwa they continued on toward Corryong and took the Shelley Road across to Tallangatta where lunch was the order of the day at the Victoria Hotel.

After lunch, the riders backtracked to the Bellbridge, crossed over the Bethanga bridge and headed back to the Hume Highway, then to Holbrook across to Morven and stopped at Culcairn for an afternoon coffee at the bakery there. Refreshments over it was back home up the Olympic Way.

Woody is going to organise an overnight ride on October 16 to Mitta Mitta and beyond. Watch this space.

The Tri Branch weekend at Narrandera was a success by all accounts although the weather was a little on the fresh side.

Saturday Meet and Greet was a washout with so many people away and freezing cold weather. Only four turned up and didn't stay long.

The next ride for the month will be on Sunday, September 15 but at this stage a destination has not been decided upon, however turn up at McDonald's Edward Street car park at 8am and all will be revealed.

On October 6, Mark Williams will be leading a ride and knowing Mark it will be a good day out.

On October 12, there's an escort ride for Dee and Guy's wedding which, I believe, will be galavanting through Bourkelands. And on October 20 it's the annual Pink Ribbon Ride.

The next branch meeting will be on September 17 in the Radio Club rooms, which are located in Small Street.

The meeting gets under way at 7.30pm but the doors open at 7pm for you to mingle prior to the meeting and discuss what needs to be discussed.

We are well into getting the 2019 Toy Run off the ground and are looking for donations and new toys. The age span we cater for is about 3-15.

This year's run will be held on Saturday, December 7. At this time, all the necessary approvals have been granted.

We will be appearing at the Wollundry Markets, which are at the Civic Centre precinct, on Saturday, October 12 from 9am-1pm.

Until then, happy riding and may we get a bit more warm weather.

Remember, all rides from now until May 31 depart at 9am.
