Dene's Mystery Ride

Sunday 20th February Dene led a mystery tour which started from the Coffin Bay boat ramp.
It was a mystery to us and fun entered the thoughts when he called the 9 other cyclists together and said, - we have enough Life Jackets for everyone!

Well, we were planning on riding our bikes, so life jackets wasn't on the agendas, but Dene had arranged a friend with a suitable vessel to carry us across the water to the spot where it was easy for all to walk on water!

We started out with the thought it would be a wet day, but as we turned into Coffin Bay the rain stopped and the sun came out, - so you can never judge the day unless you are there!
We had a ride leader well prepared to cater to our needs and he had paper towel and a tarp to sit on while we dried our feet ready for the ride.
Up the hill over the top and on toward Kellidie Bay the views were fantastic!
As we cycled through Kellidie, several people were looking at the spectacle that the bikes made and were wishing that they too were out on their bikes.

We headed into Wangary and turned on the back road to Minnie Ribbie creek road, and eventually through a creek crossing that was dry - ish, and then on to Airport road where we turned right toward Coffin Bay. The traffic was minimal and very courteous and we had a great time. At the bitumen, our ride leader turned us toward the coast again, and we followed the dirt path along the edge of the sea. We had only one puncture, (Dene had a tyre go flat) and one fall (Leonie had the opportunity to practice) and we arrived at Oyster Beds for a well-deserved coffee and time to chat about the days achievements.

Well done Dene!
