2019/2025-05 Rides around Manilla
Starting from the end of our event, John here with the other John's Hilux that 'failed to proceed' at Singleton.
This is what it's all about - off-road and adventure bike on the gravel road west of the Great Dividing Range. This is morning tea at Kings Town on Wednesday.
Steve, Richard, Gordon and Ian at morning tea at Bundarra on Tuesday.
Bob, John and John at morning tea at Bundarra on Tuesday.
Richard at his former family home, "Winston". The shrub was planted many years ago by his grandfather. The home was demolished after a severe storm rendered it dangerous a number of years ago.
Ian and Richard on Richard's old property, "Winston", under a jacaranda probably planted by his grandfather many many years ago.
Bob was fascinated by the old fireplace and chimney on "Winston".
Gordon is amazed by the brickwork in the "Winston's" chimney.
On all of our rides we use an enlargement taken from an NRMA map. Here you can clearly see Tuesday's ride in blue and Wednesday's in yellow.
Ian and Gordon at morning tea on Tuesday at Bundarra. There appears to be a private joke going on here.
Off-road and adventure bikes - just what it is all about.
All the way from Russia, Ian's Ural loves these rural roads.
Made in Germany around 80 years ago, Ian's BMW is very much at home on our rides. Gordon's lovely Peugeot 504 enhances our multicultural connections.
Bob's Toyota Hilux appears to be ready for anything.
John's Hilux and Ian's trailer make up the support vehicle ranks. It disappointed itself at Singleton on our way home on Thursday, where it 'failed to proceed'.
Steve and Richard pondering the excitement of Ian's Ural, if they could just borrow it for a little while.
