A RIDE WITH COFFEE BREAKS FROM THE BEAR. NO, ACTUALLY SEVERAL COFFEE BREAKS LIGHTLY CONNECTED BY A RIDE. AND PUNTS. FIVE OF THEM
WORDS/PHOTOS THE BEAR

The Ulysses Club’s Old No. 1 was far from a sedate rider. Stephen Dearnley enjoyed hooking it with a lot of enthusiasm, so when he invited me to share his “Five Punts” Ride one Sunday I was only too happy to accept. He has been gone for more than a dozen years now, but his legacy remains – and not only the Ulysses, Moto Guzzi and Heron clubs but also some outstanding innovations in Australian book publishing. And, in my mind at least, the Five Punts ride.
