Melbourne Riders - Meet at the Britannia Mall, 485 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham at 10:30. Phil Clark will lead the Melbourne group to The Robin Hood Pub via the more relaxed back roads.

FUEL - fuel availability is limited after Neerim Junction. Modern Vespas (with a single rider) will make it up and back down the hill with fuel to spare. 95 Octane fuel is available at Neerim Junction and this will be our fuel stop before riding up to Mt Baw Baw. Classic Vespa riders would need a jerry can just in case!

This ride is suitable for experienced riders only. The roads are winding, narrow and steep at times with frequent 4WD traffic, however the general condition of the road is good. Please take a look at the map before deciding to attend.

     I'm interested, however as would need to book accommodation, that's a risk for me if the weather is sour on the weekend, as I wouldn't wish to do a long run in the rain.

    Oh... What to do... ?

    Hi everyone, I'll be leaving from Eltham on Sat 27th to catch up James and Gippsland crew at Robin Hood Inn and then to Mt Baw Baw overnight. If there is a group I'm happy to organise a meet up at Britannia Mall Mitcham for a 10:30am departure. Route is via Lysterfield, Harkaway then on the old Highway Berwick, Nar Nar Goon, Bunyip, Longwarry to West Drouin. I'll post a route soon.

    we can discuss an alternative return on Sunday maybe Noojee, Poweltown, Yarra Junction over a beverage on Saturday evening.

    if coming please reply to James using the link above to secure accomodation and then let me know if you're meeting in Mitcham.

    Cheers Phil
