A good turn up of riders 8 in total, with the weather expectations of a possible shower or two. Our destination was Meredith for a barbeque morning tea/ lunch at Graeme Wilson sons 10 Acre property to help celebrate Graeme 80th Birthday. Out through Ceres once again, turned right into Pollocksford Road to the Hamilton…

A very pleasant 25 degree day expected, and with a few phone calls going around on Saturday we had the company of a few ladies. Rod Dutton planned a ride, with the intention of staying away from the coast because of the long weekend and busy traffic we headed out through Ceries to Stonehaven,  Gheringhap…
