Ride to the House of Honey 3 July 2022
Thanks Chris and Di for the enjoyable ride and Steve for TEC.

It was a fresh start with about 11 bikes plus one along the way on a fine day with interesting events
along the way. When we turned off Albany Highway and round a corner , there was a moment of
panic when I saw someone with a camera until I realised it was Keith W taking photos. Coming down
the bottom of the hill towards Welshpool and a righthand turn, I was behind Brian and Carol and a
vehicle went through a Give Way sign as we were turning and all made a very sudden stop ( the driv-
er was given a sort of wave ). Then I had to do a righthand turn into Kalamunda Road and the mark-
er was in the middle of the road and a foreign driver pulled up behind the marker and would not pass,
I had to pull alongside and tell them to go. Another time I had to make a left turn and the marker
must have been colour blind as he saw me with my orange vest and took off, Brian C realised what
had happened and took over marking the corner ( thanks Brian ).
I did not carry on to the end of the ride but still did a round trip of 180 kl, it was a great day and a
good ride.

Thanks Jim. The rest of the ride was a lot less exciting, but after visiting the “House of Honey” we
went down “Lovers Lane” near Toodyay - Kay said it was the most romantic thing Dave has done for
years! The big roller coaster hill in Brigadoon was also a talking point at lunchtime, especially for
those that hadn’t been down it before. Thanks for everyone that joined us for the day, & Julie will be
glad to know we didn’t forget her bottle of honey liqueur. Also thanks to the riders that sent a “thanks
for the ride today” message, its nice to receive some appreciation sometimes.

Dianna & Chris
