Are you ready to ride?

8484823063?profile=originalA 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...

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.

Understandings.

    The Vespa Day Around the Bay ride is always in memory of our most enthusiastic member and friend Phil Agar. Phil died in 2015 after a very long and heroic struggle with cancer. The ride in 2014 was on his final to-do bucket list, and he was elated to complete the ride right around that year. We remember Phil each year with the blue ribbon attached to your ride badge. Phil rode a bright blue bike. We'll see you on the ride, and I am sure Phil will be riding with us again too: FB event details: https://www.facebook.com/events/1040977009575636/

    Family Christmas BBQ has just been announced for that day. :-(

    I skipped a family wedding to go to the National Rally earlier this year, so I had better not push my luck too far.......

    Oh, well. There's always next year.
