Pre ride for Grand Final Day w/e ride

This is a pre ride to meet up with the main group for the Grand Final Day w/e ride, for those of us who live in the north or for those who want a bit extra for their long weekend ride in order to arrive at the 'official' starting point of the Grand Final Day w/e ride.

Taking aprox 2hrs for 180 kms. Aim to arrive here by 0900 for a quick coffee and briefing.
Departing from the Caltex service station 307 Diamond Creek Rd, St Helena at 0930.

The aim of the ride is to take boredom out of doing the Geelong Rd and put a little extra into the tour. Heading north toward Whittlesea we'll then traverse across through Wallan , Romsey. From here we'll move south to Gisbourne, Bacchus Marsh then down the C704 to Lovely Banks BP service centre. For an approximate 1200 arrival.
