Ride and Event Calendar

Ride Guidelines:

  • Arrive early and prepared: alert, proper ride clothing, check bike condition, fuel tank full, tyres at correct pressure.
  • Riders ride within their own limits ("ride your own ride") and observe speed limits & other rules of the road.
  • Riders do not overtake the ride leader without permission.
  • Do not overtake anyone on the left (unless in a separately marked lane).
  • Tail End Charlie rides at a safe margin behind the slowest rider and indicates to each corner marker rider that they may continue with the ride.
  • At each turn, the 2nd rider (the one behind the Leader) pulls over and signals the corner - until the Tail End Charlie arrives.
  • Riders inform Tail End Charlie if they intend to leave the ride.
  • Visitors are welcome at Ulysses rides - please introduce yourself, and ask about our ride protocols.
  • New and inexperienced riders: please ask the ride leader to match you with a "buddy" for the ride.

East Perth
Annual Ulysses Memorial Ride
  • Ulysses Branches round the country, indeed round the world, dedicate the 2nd Sunday in September each year as a day of rememberence for those members who have "Ridden On". In most cases this is done in practice by all the Ulysses branches in a given area jointly or independently riding to a place where a short ceremony is conducted to honour those members. The tradition in the greater Perth area is for branches from as far north as Geraldton and as far south as Bunbury and as far east as Kalgoorlie to ride to the park at Lake Lechenaltia, Rosedale Road, Chidlow. There, someone conducts a short memorial service by the banks of the lake, at a monument dedicated by those branches as a permantent marker for this purpose.
  • After an East Perth departure, Perth branch riders will join other branches at Midland between 9.30 am and 10 am, for a 10:30 departure to the lake.
  • Note: the parklands surrounding Lake Lechenaltia are administered by the Shire of Mundaring. The shire charges an entry fee to enter the grounds. Someone designated by the ride coordinator will often collect the entry fee at the start of the ride and the "treasurer" for the event will pay for the group to expedite entry.

Geraldton
Western Australian Odyssey 2008 - Geraldton
  • Ulysses members in branches round the country, like to meet up with each other occasionally. To that end an annual Odyssey (named after Ulysses' epic voyage of Greek myth) is conducted in most states each year. The result is a (usually long) weekend of fun, frolic and disgraceful behaviour, coordinated by one or more of the branches in the state.
  • The Western Australian Odyssey for 2008 is in Geraldton and jointly organised by the Geraldton and Joondalup branches.
  • Members ride independently, or in small groups to the Odyssey location on Friday morning, Friday afternoon, or Saturday morning. Some ride information is available via the main Forum Page. Click Here
  • There is usually a dinner/dance, a BBQ, breakfasts, some games, some awards, tall tales, and some (often disgraceful) skits performed by branches or members for the entertainment of all.
  • Details at: Click Here for Odyssey Site.
