Greendale Pub Ride – 14th September,
2008

A Group of eight riders, including Vlado
who joined us for the day, met at our new meeting point the “ Highway Inn
“ ready for a ride to them thar hills. The
weather was very windy but looked Ok rain wise. Simon gave us his most recent
weather update which indicated the winds would stay but we would be clear for
rain.

Tail End Charlie was presented with a new high vis vest and renamed  Tail “Arse
End “ Charlie. – see the website –
photo gallery for a picture.

Had to detour and drop in at Bacchus Marsh Macca’s to pick up shrek
who had just ordered a burger and coffee, then on to Ballan.
For coffee.

We got a bit wet going through to Ballan
and the wind just kept on blowing so it was decided to bail out and just go
straight to the Pub. The meal just as I remembered from our last visit excellent !!.

A few of the boys left during the afternoon, Shrek to
meet his brother, Brian and Brett to get home and Simon to babysit.

The remaining four then decided, seeing the rain threat
had eased, to do the planned morning ride in reverse. i.e.
Greendale to Trentham to Daylesford
and through Ballan to home.
