Around forty riders turned out for this shorter run, five on modern bikes, and the rest on a good selection of older bikes around half of which were more than fifty years old. The route for the run was something of an impromptu affair, the outward leg going past Black Mountain via William Hovel and Coppins Crossing to Uriarra Crossing picnic area where most of us regrouped. Others continued on via the Cotter while the rest of us retraced our steps back along Uriarra Road to the Cotter Road and then over Scrivener Dam to Black Mountain Peninsula for a BBQ lunch.

This normally short and casual run was a little longer than usual this year and yes we were briefly ‘out of sight of Black Mt.’ but it gave Dean and Cheryl doing BBQ trailer duties time to organize lunch. I must say I enjoyed a better than average sausage, my commiserations to previous cooks.

Ian Brock together with Gerry Hampson provided the backup trailer service and I believe there were no breakdowns.

Well that’s the end of this write up, as short as the riders briefing that managed to confuse and lose so many!
