Clubman Tourers

"You're only (in) Young once", and so this may well be your last chance to visit this old country town in the undulating countryside of the south west slopes.  Paul is organising an around about ride taking in some of the great winding country roads down that way with a bit of easy dirt thrown in (avoidable if you want).  Starting from Pheasants Nest, taking the dirt through Canyonleigh and Brayton, cutting up to Crookwell for coffee.  Along the Rugby twisties, through Rye Park to Borowa, then south through Galong, McMahons Reef and down the racetrack to Jugiong for lunch.  North up the Jugiong road to Harden then a lovely backroad into Young.  It's a great time of year to head west.

It's been years since we've been to the Dargo High Plains Rally and the prez and her loyal subject, runs co-ordinator man, are planning on going.  

The Dargo High Plains Rally is actually not on the high plains but nestled deep in a valley off the Dargo High Plains Road south of Dinner Plains, at Talbotville, an old gold mining location.  It's a lovely open grassy site with steep terrain all around.  You do have to go through the  spectacular high plains to get there which include lots of dirt and/or tar twisties.  There are lots of route options with just 10km of dirt if you want)

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

Exploring some of the closest dirt roads to the city.  Heading from Kurrajong Heights, Burralow Ck and up Pattersons Ridge Fire Trail to Bilpin, down Mountain Lagoon Road which reopened a year or so ago, probably down to Weenie Ck and back, probably heading up to Colo Heights via the pretty back road that winds up a back valley, then Wheelbarrow Ridge road and track to either Wisemans or Lower Portland.

Christmas in July this year is at the Hill End Lodge organised by VeeBee

Most people know Hill End but I've found a few recently that have never been so... Hill End is an old Gold Mining town with a lot of history to explore.  There are fantastic back country twisty roads around and dirt if it takes your fancy. Plus it should be suitably chilli at night for a cosy Chrissy in July dinner.  We're leaving at 9:30 to allow time for to explore the town which is well worth a look, but It's close enough to Sydney to make it a late start if you prefer (It's about 220km from Sydney, 240 with some extra twisties.). 

The lodge are putting on a traditional Chrissy dinner with full on ham roast and turkey, chrstimas pudding and entree for $58/head.  Continental Breaky is included, $10 for cooked or we can head into the General Store for a late breaky and strong brewed coffee.

The general meeting is moving!  We are in need of a general meeting makeover so we’re going back to PJ Gallaghers in Drummoyne - now known as the Oxford Hotel.  It worked well in the past and now that their renos are finished we are giving it another go.  We will keep the focus about rides and riding (in particular October long weekend planning) and also discuss last minute preps for the Boree Log.  Come early for dinner in the bar, then join us in The Residence (fancy name for a meeting room) at 7.30pm.

Where:  Oxford Hotel, 195 Victoria Road, Drummoyne

This year, we are going to trail something new – combining the awards night with our Annual General Meeting.  Don’t let that scare you though – the plan is to hold the AGM just before the awards night festivities begin so you can avoid it if you prefer.  The AGM is not a long process – it should take no more than half an hour – and this gives you an opportunity to easily attend what is a vital and important event for the club, and to see out the old committee and vote in/welcome the new one.

BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL - space is limited, book in early so you don't miss out.  

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

On the 15th of June, it will be 10 years since Reg Forbes passed away... so our June resto night will be especially for Reg.  Please let Liz know if you are coming along.

Nige & Dave are going to Hill End for lunch at Dave Darker's "General Store". Anyone is welcome to join them. It'll be a fairly unsophisticated ride; no fancy route plans but it's a nice cruise up there with some good twisties into Hill End and some colourful banter from "The General" over a decent feed.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

It's time for another maintenance day. A well equipped garage available for all to use, if you want to do some work on your bike, just a wash and clean, a service or something more, this is the chance to take it on as there'll be plenty of expertise on hand. Pop round even just to say Hi and we'll get some sausages to BBQ for lunch.

It was Tom's wish that half of his ashes be scattered in Botany Bay with the remainder sent to his father in Hungary. We will be holding a ceremony at Molineaux Point Lookout to scatter Tom’s ashes followed by a wake at a nearby club. Since motorcycling was a fundamental part of Tom's life, we will start with a short motorcycle procession to escort Tom's ashes to the ceremony - all motorcyclists are invited to attend.
