| (pre)Australia Day BBQ 2010 |
| On the 23rd January, after the
regular Saturday morning ride in Hervey Bay, the club
held it's annual pre-Australia Day Pizza & BBQ bash at Mark &
Sue's place at the Pacific Haven Airpark. Features of the day were
unlimited wood fired pizzas from the clay oven amongst many other
culinary delights. Entertainment extended to a private aerobatics display for the party by neighbour & guest, Mr John Jackson in his Russian Yak 52. For those needing even more excitement, Brad brought along his 3 meter long pet carpet python. Some members stayed overnight and were treated to a cycle tour of the area and a BBQ breakfast the next day. A full set CD of this event can be supplied on request to a smiling webmaster. |
 The Yak doing it's thing.  Damn, this grass is thick! |
 Who wouldn't be happy with a drink & a pizza? The source of all happiness: the 'Pizza Hut'. |

want to argue? |
 Some of the more photogenic. |

| Brooklyn House, Howard August 2009 |
|
The Weekend morning signature rides look set to become overshadowed by the midweek rides, if one Wednesday morning is anything to go by. Following a tour of the Howard township the previous week, taking in some historic sights such as Andrew Fishers house (first Australian Labor PM), 30 members & their guests rode from various starting points and converged on Brooklyn House in historic Howard. Devonshire teas all round. This was followed by an informative & leisurely tour of the 100+ year old building providing a captivating insight into life in the late 19th century. Thanks to the Ward family for their hospitality. |
