North East iRode #1

[Tackleberry]

Good to see a couple of successful rides this weekend guys.  I got home this afternoon and only covered just under 2000km for the three days I actually rode, which was the first decent ride in a number of years, so hopefully another one later this year. 

Good to see a few people travelling to Alpha to enjoy the lunch and social. 

Unfortunately we had two that weren't able to join due to malfunctions, but we hope they enjoyed the riding they got in. 

Over to the next organiser to get another one in the list.  Thanks again guys and hope you enjoyed.

Yep I got home OK. Fortunately I was only 3.5hrs rom home so was able to get the Ute out to pick me up.
Still keen to visit again sometime.

Look forward to the next one.

Thanks
Hop

Good to see the photos of the riders at that made it to Alpha, I wasn't one of them as I lost a pannier between Kilkivan and Gayndah. I spent the rest of the Saturday looking for it.Looking forward to the Theodore ride.  Yes I did get it back a chap from Goovgin (NW of Biloela) rang to say he had found a BMW pannier on the Tannsey Rd.  Cheers David G

So how did he find you?

[David G]

Hi Biggles,
He cut the tab that locks the pannier and recovered my licence and then used the white pages to track me down.I carry all my cards on my phone but on trips I carry my hard cards as a back up incase the phone decides to play up.
Cheers Dave

Excellent that there are honest people who go to that much trouble to help out.  You got me thinking I should put my phone number on my panniers.  But Honda ones don't fall off.   
Oh, but they do! If you don't attach them properly, as happened to me twice (top box once, LH pannier once) when I was far less familiar with my bike.

I've asked if they can find a way to centre the map in the frame so there's less Indian Ocean and all of the east coast.  Perhaps even include Tasmania!

So what and when is the Theodore ride that David G speaks of?

I did not make Alpha either and I would be keen to catch up.

Where do I look?

Talk soon

I floated that one, and I'm keen to do it, but not in Winter after riding through 0^o on the Alpha ride.  I suggest a date a bit later in the year.

I had it in my calendar for the 22nd July?? I am still no quite sure of the way that you will know for sure if a ride is happening. Is the calendar the thing to check?? If it is listed in there it is happening???
