We know there are a lot of sportsbikes in the club, particularly the legendary 916, 999 and 1098 models, so we're encouraging you to bring them out! And there are a lot of garage queens (we love those!) which need a run every now and then too.
This ride has been prompted by and will be lead by our not-fast editor Neil. The plan is an 'easyish' ride to the Neerim South Hotel. They've had some wild storms in the area lately, but all is back to normal, and the town needs a few visitors.
We're starting from a new departure point - the public carpark behind the Yarra Ranges Cafe in Yarra Junction - Note: Google Maps shows this as Yarra Junction Pizza. To get to the carpark turn down Park Road, then left into the carpark. From the Cafe it's an easy blast along the Powelltown Road through Noojee, up the Icy Creek Road to Willow Creek, and then across to Neerim South.
Please plan your commute to the Cafe to arrive no later than 9:45 am, as we have the rider briefing to cover-off before we depart at 10:00 sharp. Usually before a ride, we like to have a coffee, and a bit of a chat. So most will tend to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure time. Don't forget to fill your tank!
A fun route with some low speed twisties and open country roads, but nothing too challenging, and with Neil leading it will definitely be at a comfortable pace. Lunch is at 12:00. To return, we'll take the Powelltown Road back to finish at the Launching Place Hotel, at around 3:30 pm. Please note: registration cut-off is the day before the event.
Important: please take the time to acquaint yourselves with the club's riding protocols and etiquette. Your booking and participation in the ride will assume you have and requires it.
