Tim Stolz and Jonathan Alvarez tagged along with the hardy members of Melbourne’s MADCAT adventure-riding club on a ride named after the singer and songwriter of the 1983 anthem Roll Me Away.
The MADCAT team at Noojee Trestle Bridge Walk on a three-day ride in Victoria.
They say it’s only mad dogs and Englishmen who go out in the midday sun, but it appears it’s only MADCAT motorcycle tragics who go out in the pouring rain…and we all know how much cats hate water.
After dreamy low-20s temperatures the day before, the heavens opened in Melbourne on the day of the Bob Seeger ride itself. It looked for all the world like a miserable midwinter day as six hardy souls – of the original 17 – sloshed their way out to the rendezvous point at Yarra Junction to start three days on mixed surfaces. At its conception it was imagined as a mid-Autumn ride with the weather at its balmy best: warm, still days, dry roads, native bush, a camp-ground on a river and a hearty pub meal each night.
