HALLS GAP RIDE UP, FRIDAY 29 MARCH, GRAMPIANS NATIONAL SCOOTER RALLY.
For the ride up to Halls Gap on Friday 29 March for the Grampians National Scooter Rally, two rides have been planned for club members.
Departure Point for everyone to meet:
Caltex Service Station, Cnr Little Boundary and Pipe Roads, Laverton North VIC 3026. This is a 24 hour Service Station with food and coffee available on site.
Departure Time:
8:00 am SHARP.
Arrive at 7am if you want a coffee and a snack beforehand, otherwise have a hearty breakfast at home. You must all fill up on arrival.
Back Road Route: <Route Map> (274 kms - approx 4 hours with a coffee/petrol break)
There will be two groups riding up.
Group 1: led by Pete Zimm
Riders on the bigger bikes who are comfortable doing 90-100kms/hr will leave first.
Group 2: led by David Atkinson
Slower or smaller capacity scooters or for those who want to enjoy scenery cruising at 75-90 kms/hr will leave 15 mins later.
Both groups will ride via Exford, Glenmore Road, Mount Egerton, Buninyong, Glenelg Hwy, Skipton, Mount William Rd and Moyston.
Petrol stop and coffee break:
Bunningyong (106 kms from start)
Additional fuel if needed for classic scooters at Skipton (116 kms to Halls Gap)
For members who are staying at the Grampians View Cottages but are riding up independently, rooms have been allocated and keys will be ready for collection. Just give your name to our hosts Fiona and Rob.
Coming home on Sunday will be same route in reverse. Departure time will be determined once we find out what the program is for the morning!
See you there. :)
Comments
Back roads for the G'Town folk and will liaise (when Tufan is back from his Scooter tour of India) regarding either a meet up point with Group 1 or meet at Halls Gap. What time is Friday night dinner planned for pls? (sorry if I missed it somewhere)
We will all meet at the Caltex and it has been decided that we will ALL do the backroads route.
However, we will be asking riders on the bigger bikes or who are happy to sit on 90kms to join the first group who will leave first.
Shortly followed by all those who want a slightly slower ride that suits their vespas.
Once you arrive at the Grampians View Cottages, you can go to Reception where they have a list of the room allocations for smooth checkin experience.
For those who haven't had enough riding for the day, there will be a nice jaunt up the Mountain to check out some of the scenic views across the Grampians.
Dinner will be provided at the accommodation site. $15 p/h to be paid on the night and I am sure you will be well looked after by our hosts Rob and Fiona. BYO drinks and alchohol.
I will be sending a final email to all attendees soon so keep an eye out.
Cheers Julie
