Urr ummm - it is actually an Annual Event organised by the Ulysses Club... The weather tends to alternate from one year to the next.

Thanx Yama, i realise what the event is i just dont seem to be havin much luck with the weather. I don't get out much (workin when it's nice and sunny) and new to KB and my first two ride outs with them were kinda wet. Fingers crossed for 2moro.

Well, sadly the fact that I am at work right now and am far from finished means I will be working tomrrow and unable to make the ride, which is a shame, as I was really hoping I would be able to, especially after seeing the '03 photos.

Best of luck everyone, have a great ride!

Bloody good to have fine weather during the run considering the forcast. Here are some of the photos I took. I will upload all of them to the gallery soon.

I heard on the mid-day news there were 1700 bikes on the run!!! Wow!!! Even if they cocked up the counting, there must have been a really good turnout. Well done guys. I'll be watching for it on the news - I hope there's going to be tv coverage, it's such good positive PR for bikes/bikers.

Some of the crowd before the rain began.

Glad to have done the run and got the badge to prove it. Great to meet up with some of you for the last time for a while. Nice to meet Kasper complete with tiger suit, and Pete the Pom.

Official count at the end was just over 1000...or was that the number of badges sold?? Who knows?
