Moto' ride to the Collector Pumkpin Festival

Making the most of some fine weather, Rowan, Emma, Gavin and I rode out to Collector on Sunday afternoon. Rowan and Emma rode an 800cc Harley and Gav' and I both rode GS500s.

Our route via Gundaroo incorporated a substantial stretch of dirt road. I had the chance to stop and admire a dam that held some of our recent rainfall.

The biggest pumpkin had sufficient flesh to contribute to over 5000 scones and is about as heavy as you'd expect. Half of Canberra had the idea to join us out at Collector.

From JBPumpkin

Inspired, I paid a greater-than-market price to a bloke for a butternut that has since been partially-applied to the production of scones. There was room to rope my purchase down while my other "pumpkin" was doing battle on the soccer field for ANU.

JB coaches Sydney Comets to victory

JB coached his Comets to victory over the Canberra Capitals at the Canberra Basketball Centre in Belconnen on Saturday evening.

We missed Roberts' half-time on-court show that would have been accompanied by 90's music (the glory days of basketball). It was in the second half that Sydney developed a lead over Canberra, a lead that they maintained steadfastly until full-time.

The third-grade Owls and I competed against Queanbeyan on a bright autumn Saturday at Taylor Park.

I take the ball in to contact dragging a fellow along on my boot.

Nerdal and others clean out over the ruck that subsequently formed.

Chasing a few tries, I receive a ball from our full-back on the ground. Rashly, I grab the QBN winger and consider using him as a human battering-ram.

From QBN1

After posting a couple of tries and valiantly contesting our line-outs, we conceded to QBN, 22-14.

After a rest this weekend, the main competition, the John I Dent Cup, will commence. We will have our first game with The Vikings.
