Ulysses Melbourne

        Eight riders fronted up for our ride. Steve Bailes rode out to say hello to us all before heading home for a social day. He did inform us that a new occupant is coming to his house and one is departing. A 1050 V-Strom may be soon seen. This left seven for our ride on what promised to pleasant weather on clean roads. This was most welcome as I'm sure some of us put in a couple of ours cleaning up from the Sth Gippsland roads last week.

Roughly a dozen of us gathered at Lilydale for the ride to Grantville today.  After last night’s rain, the weather was actually quite pleasant. 

           Seven of our members and four Yarra Ranges members met in Yea. Not all were going to the Guzzi visit. Pat was out for a ride then quickly off for the football. Gary and Vince were both a little hobbled due to feet problems and were there for the ride and social meetup on a fine sunny day. Ian from Yarra Ranges, had some of his members there to help our visit look respectable. Thanks Ian. The venue in a farm setting, is 10km along the Melba Hwy, Melbourne direction, then turning right, into Ti Tree Creek Rd, is 6km along an unsealed road.

Eleven of us took part in Brian’s ride today despite the weather forecast and we had a great day.
 
The participants were Andrew, Brian, Colin, Geoff, Jack, Jeff, Mike, Nick, Pat (Tail End Charlie), Tom and me.    
We started off with a bit of freeway
