It was a bit fresh but the day was beautiful. A good crowd turned up approximately 110 bikes. We drew our first 2 cards and left the Church and headed up the highway to Steve Irwin Way to Landsborough Pub where we drew our 3rd Card. We headed down through the back roads of Beerburrum and Elimbah back onto the M1 and a quick duck into the Sundowner for the 4 th card and a cool beverage!!. Time to head back to the Church to draw the 5th card. After we arrived back it was time to check out the vendors,buy some raffle tickets and have a drink!. The Burnout Comp and the Show n Shine were completed and it was time to announce the winners!!.peta & I won the 3 wheeled trophy ( we were the only Trike there)and Jinx won the Burnout Comp.

10 Petrie Markets and Sandstone Point Hotel Ride on 12/06/16 By Michelle aka spyder With the weather looking as unsure as the number of riders who would turn up for toady s ride 5 bikes, 1 spyder, and 1 trike met at BP South, for what I was hoping to be as much as a social day as a chance of a ride. So much so even the way we were going to get to our destinations, and who was going to lead the ride was up for discussion. Frank s suggestion won the 1 st discussion, so he led us down the highway to Boundary Rd., through Kallangur, and Petrie to Old Petrie Town to the Markets. Once at the markets we all pretty much did our own thing, we were also joined by my parents who had come up for the weekend for my Birthday. We then re-grouped about 10:30 for the ride to the Sandstone Point Hotel for lunch. And once again a discussion was had about which direction we would go. This time Hacker s suggestion won the discussion, so he led us out towards Dayboro, up Mt. Mee, and down Campbell s Pocket Rd. into Wamuran. Then along the Daguilar Highway, onto Bribie Island Rd. It was along this road that Skinknee decided to give the Spyder a bit of a squirt, and we went from being 10

11 down the back of the pack to leading the ride for all of about two minutes But hey that s the sort of ride we were on. Arriving at the hotel it was extremely busy, and I was so glad I had booked; otherwise I don t think we would have even got a look in at the restaurant. Once again we were joined by parents; we were also joined by Froga, Hilly, Niecey, Kerry and Barry. Most of us opted for the roast meal that were being served direct behind were we were sitting, and some opted to order from the menu (Which took quite a while for some meals). The local Volunteer Marine Resecure where running the raffles. Which a few of us part took in with Jock (possible new member) being successful in winning a seafood tray which he kindly gave to Ron and Sweetpea as seafood was not his thing. After lunch we just sat back and relaxed enjoying each others company and the venue. However in the restaurant there was a strict 2 hours sitting time limit. So most of us took our leave, and headed home for the day. 11
