The Riding4aCause boys are off again on another adventure – one of bonding, mateship and camaraderie.
We’re heading up the Putty road on Saturday 27th October on our journey to Gloucester. Much has been written and said about this ‘Top 100 rides’ road, and we’ve decided to use it as part of our jou [...]

Just another spring weekend. Day Two
We’d worked out a plan to have Jack meet us in Bungendore at 9am (after we found breakfast and coffee). Although the cafe we chose was set back from the road, it was still a hive of activity with the locals. My big brekkie was fabulous, and just what I needed to get the day underway. T [...]

Continuing our Men’s Sheds visits in 2011, on the 1st October 2011, the Riding4aCause crew will be visiting the Port Macquarie Men’s Shed. We’d like to have as many riders come with us on this journey and help spread the message that it’s OK for men to talk about the issues that matter, including depress [...]

The last big day of riding, fairly straightforward riding into Muswelbrook
The day started under cloudy skies and a light drizzle – it was a wet-weather gear start to the ride, one that doesn’t always imbue you with a good mood; the mood this morning was quite sombre. The weariness had taken hold of a number of peo [...]
Day 14: Mitchell to Moree

Mitchell Cafe
After soaking in the wonderfully warm Great Artesian Spa (inside Mitchell’s aquatic complex) the night before, we were greeted by a cold, wet morning. It turned out to be a great idea to park the bikes undercover overnight, and we all chuckled at Rob who’d washed and polished his bike the night before, [...]
Day 11: Mt Isa to Winton

We attempted to get away from Mt Isa at 8am, and succeeded by 8:15am (recurring theme) The road out towards Cloncurry was much better than the straight roads into Mt Isa (much better scenery and the road is a little more challenging!) At Cloncurry, chaos set in as half of us decided to stop for fuel, whilst Raz, Darrell & m [...]

Day 8: A day of Rest
This was to be our ‘rest’ day, with many of us staying a second night in the Glen Helen Resort. However, the day greeted us with rain – so much so, a number of riders were concerned about the rain setting in all day and the prospect of the road being flooded (thereby not being able to leav [...]
Day 5: Port Augusta to Coober Pedy

We had a bit of a stage-managed ride-out, with the ceremonial ‘meeting of the packs’ of East coast and West coast riders. I’m not sure how well it looked on camera so we’ll have to wait and see!
Rideout
The ride-out was spectacular – we had a double-file formation ride out of Port Augusta and for t [...]
Day 4: Renmark to Port Augusta

A quick little jaunt into Waikerie after yet another fuel stop before the day started – One of these days we may all get away on time! We had a quick photo session/interview with Kyla from the Murray Pioneer as our official news item for Renmark. Waikerie was our next destination for morning tea – the cherry ripe sl [...]
