In January, Ken Willis, Keith Akenhead, and Keith Rajala went up to Manning for the Red Lobster Annual General Meeting. This was the second year that there was a poor attendance at the meeting, but those attending tried their best to carry on as best they could. Readings from Red Green's book, and tales of past exploits filled the dark hours.
Harrison Lake Overnight Cycle

Well, somebody had to do it. Yes, it was left to Randy (if you gottem smokem) Wheating to organize the spring Lobster overnight cycle. Accompanied by Keith (bunjy) Akenhead and Keith (my body is a temple) Rajala, they set out early Saturday morning of May 30th for a cycle to Harrison Hot Springs and a night out in a tent. There were a number of lobsters and lobster wannabes missing, but the diehard old timers picked up the slack admirably. They arrived at the Bigfoot campground and immediately became territorial in the choice of campsite. It was quickly set up and plans were made for checking out the local watering holes. The Settler pub provided satisfactory cuisine and fruit of the hops. They later cycled back to their campsite where they leisurely spent the rest of the evening outside their tent sampling some fine cigars and scotch whisky. The morning saw dubious weather but rain held off and by Mission, the air conditioning of a restaurant was a welcomed respite. After about six hours from the start, their journey was over..

We took our mountain bikes up to Diamond Head in the late summer of 98 one fine sunny day and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a strenuous cycle, but the scenery makes it all worthwhile.
