sadsacnews: SADSAC: Maffra - Blue Pools 02September

What a pleasant surprise to see 16 happy riders for our Blue Pools ride. Being as it was Father's Day we weren't too sure how many people would be able to turn up. There were also some other rides on this day, one being the Audax ride to Licola which our trusty President and blogger chose to do. That meant that Bruce's cub reporter was in charge of photographing and reporting on the day. Luckily Liz took some lovely pictures because most of mine weren't too good.

We had a gem of a day with glorious sunshine and minimal wind. We also welcomed three new members to our club - Gillian, Michael and Jenny. It was also nice to see Ken accompanying our support person on the day. Thank you Lindsay for the yummy lunchtime munchies. Kathy and Katie joined us for lunch at Blue Pools too. Graham also gave us a history lesson along Crooked Lane. Luckily the magpies were kind to us and we weren't swooped. All in all we had a fantastic day and hopefully the Dads that came along had a great Father's Day.

Just a quick note on the Audax ride (Mike Rossiter) to Licola on the same day. We had some 48 starters that enjoyed a sunny day with a light headwind up that became a light tailwind home. The riders came from as far afield as Melbourne and Bairnsdale. The ride was under new management this year and with the success of the day will hopefully continue next year and beyond.
