Here's a great side story from Meningie that I've previously raised on the forum.   Nothing to see here....  just another half naked, midget, ostrich riding bushranger, and stories of hidden treasure in the Coorong sandhills.

Happy to meet   I will be coming from Enfield so we could meet at crafers BP.   It would be an easy 1.5 hour ride plus stop overs, bakery, fuel, call of nature.   To be there around 12.30 we could meet at 10ish.

Given the inclement weather forecast, I may be down to one attending (we'll decide on the day). If so I reckon I'll bring the new addition to the family (Yamaha MT03). It's serious fun in the hills.

Hoping to get a good long ride to get there, considering I'm the closest to Meningie. Bones of the route should be over 400ks round trip.

Forecast is for less than 1mm for Saturday at Meningie. More like a passing shower or two than non stop rain.

Now coming on my own as Heather isn't quite up to it. Minor medical issue which might get upset a little doing a 700km round trip on the bike.

Thinking of returning via the Narrung ferry or if I have enough time on the way there.

Definitely going solo and riding the ST (so I can throw in wet weather gear etc). I reckon I'll go via Coro (Acklands Hill Rd), Clarendon, Meadows, Strath, Langhorne Creek, Wellington to Meningie. A bit more interesting than the freeway. Safe riding folks.

Home safe after riding through VERY strong crosswinds and rain, some of the worst I've ever tackled.  In places we had trouble keeping the bike in one lane and were worried we'd be blown off the road.   Happy to be home.

Definitely not good conditions for riding, was very blowy doing the circuit through Narrung. Further inland was better once on the freeway.

But good to meet up with everyone, including two new attendees, John Barrett & Dale, who JD & Vera managed to find on the ride over.

Me too.  The worst was just before Bremer Valley.  I had a bit of hail in that area too but it was the wind that worried me the most.  The way to Meningie was rain/cloud/sunshine on an endless cycle but the only real wind issues was between Coonalpyn and Meningie.  I'll write a ride report later.  Hopefully tomorrow's City to Bay isn't as bad.

 :thumbs.  It was a good ride and it was good to see a great turnout regardless of the weather,
         (Mad dogs and English men ). Narung was pretty blowey but definitely worth the extra kilometres.
 Involuntary  lane changes aren't a good thing though!!!

Not much more I can add as far as to and from as it was to cold and windy to get off the bike for anything more than a rest stop or two along the way.

One of the better attended SA RTEs -Thanking all for attending.
