A ride for everyone. A core group rides around the bay on a tight schedule involving as many riders as possible. The target is 100 + rider participation. You can ride one, two legs, or right the way round. It's all about your choice. Be at one the meeting points with a full tank and geared up and ready to ride. It's open to all scooters, but we organize primarily for the Vespa Club of Australia.

It's a charity ride, so there's a $10 ride levy, donated to our Cambodia Project. Register at a meeting point and get your badge.

Departing...

7.00 AM Geelong. The Edge Cafe. Refuel when you get to Yarraville so that you can make it home. Breakfast orders in too for Yarraville.

8.30 AM Yarraville. Cafe Alfa (Yarraville Stn car park) Good breakfast with free coffee too. Drinks here in the afternoon too. 

9.00 AM St Kilda. Shakespeare Grove car park along Luna Park. A big meeting point! Be ready to go when the ride arrives.

10.40 AM Chelsea. Morning Tea by members Stefan and Ira at their home at 8 Village Cr. Thank them very much.

11.30 AM Mornington. Main St opposite DOCs. Regroup only. Don't gear down, we ride as soon as tail rider is in.

1.00 PM Sorrento Ferry. $20 cash for Vespa Club members. $30 cash others. Have small notes ready to pay Julie as you pass through the gate.

Lunch is on the ferry. Bring something nutritious to eat, (or use the kiosk). We need you fed and alert for the rest of the ride.

1.45 PM Queenscliff - ride to Port Arlington. Don't miss the beauty of this ride. We'll refuel there. 'Buddy up' and share the pumps to save time.

3.30 PM. We'll leave Geelong, through Corio and Lara. North of Little River we'll join the freeway. Unavoidable if we are to get you home. Don't worry. We'll ride as one big convoy at a speed to suit all. We will look after you all the way.

    Hi Guys,

    Hello club members.  Thank you.  I recently became a member and look forward to joining you for the bay ride this weekend.  I will start at Yarraville for breakfast and will go as far as Chelsea, on this occasion, if that is ok.  I am new to this and gathering experience.  At this stage I am comfortable at the 60-70 kmh range so I don’t want to hold up the group.

  • Needed: riders to act as Corner Markers on the day.

    Corner Markers will wear a yellow vest, follow the ride leader, then fall to the back as they mark a corner and meet the tail rider. When they can they rejoin the ride leader, and at each stop resume the process.

    We need four more people.

    So far we have:

    JAMES AVERY

    LEONIE BOWERS TAYLOR

    GREG POND

    JULIE POND

    PETE ZIMM

    TUFAN CHAKIR

    The more the merrier. Put your name down here please.
