Club Events

The Club run many sorts of events from our fortnightly weekend rides, through to overnighters or weekends away (not to be missed) to our fantastic Fun Day events at the Phillip Island circuit.  This is the place to keep your eye on to see what is happening. 

Events may appear here before registration is open. If  the event is a limited-numbers event, there may be a wait list option for you to put your name down in case anyone cancels. 

Many events are free, some are not, some events require a deposit or full payment up front, some events have limited numbers.  So, be sure to check the event details by clicking on the event below.  In the event that you are no longer able to attend a paid for event we do have a Refund Policy which you can review here.

Only financial club members may book an event, although unless the event is specified as 'members only', a club member may book for their non-members guests.  Again, check the event details.

    Starting in Healesville with a nice coffee beforehand at the bakery. We'll go for a nice run up the Chum Ck road to Toolangi. Turning left at Glenburn we'll head to Strath Ck. Take in the magnificent hills of Ghin Ghin. A couple more left and rights to Strathbogie.

    Lunch will be at Sevens Ck Wagyu. 85 Richards lane , Strathbogie

    Lunch is booked for 1230 and will cost be approximately $70 - $100 per person.

    See Sevens Ck Wagyu website. https://sevenscreekwagyu.com.au/

    This is an excellent opportunity to experience something different than just a usual pub meal. You literally get to cook your own piece of Wagyu to the way you like it on a specially prepared skillet. Wagyu and ingredients are all carefully prepared for you to enjoy on the day. This is quite an experience that I highly recommend. 

    Sevens Creek Wagyu is a family-run, Victorian company whole-heartedly committed to ethically raising Wagyu cattle in the traditional Japanese way. After farming Angus cattle for more than 20 years, Sevens Creek Wagyu owner Christine was introduced to the Wagyu breed in 2006. Chris had never tasted anything like it. And you won’t either. Wagyu is a highly flavoursome beef that comes from a Japanese breed of cattle. The marbling in the meat is what gives you that tender, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth experience when you eat it.

    We pride ourselves on producing superb full-blood Wagyu beef in the pristine environment of the Strathbogie ranges.

    Return is pretty much the same in reverse (cause the roads are that good) only we'll do a loop around Euroa first. Maybe even Mt Wombat lookout if you're keen. Finishing up in Kinglake.

    All up its about 350km return.

    This is the usual Sunday before Mothers Day date for the Triumph Owners Club Link Run. It is another opportunity for our classic owners to strut their stuff and the rest of us to admire.

    Daryl has organised a short ride to the event at Bayles, departing from Rowville at 9 am. Arrive early for coffee. The plan is to spend about an hour and a half looking at the bikes before riding on to Longwarry Hotel for lunch. The day will officially finish at BP Pakenham/McDonalds for a total of 120 km. All are welcome and especially owners of older bikes for all or part of the day. Come along and meet some like-minded people through the Club.

    Yes that's right. It's a Sunday

    Starting with a coffee at Platter’s Cafe around 0930. We’ll be looking for a departure at 1000. Please arrive with a full tank as the next stop for fuel will be in Alexandra where we will stop for lunch at the Corner Hotel. The aim is to traverse, as possible, the Murrindindi River with a fun run (as per usual ) on the Whanregaren Rd, a personal favourite  . Returning through Caveat and Ghin Ghin and on to either Whittlesea or Kinglake for a departure coffee and /or cake for whoever needs the sugar.

    The 2026 Tiger Hunt is set. Which will be 2 nights at St Helens, 2 nights in Hobart, 2 nights in Tullah then a final single night in Smithton before heading back to Devonport for the overnight sail home on Saturday night 21st March.

    You will need to get yourself to our breakfast briefing at Devonport's Argosy Motor Inn by  0800 am on Saturday 14th March with a full tank, fresh tyres (seriously) and faith in the leadership!

    The format is a little different for this one with opportunity to switch between two groups on most days. The groups will run in parallel and have a sport touring cohort and a 'tailored' dirt (to suit average experience on the day) with tourist cohort. Hunters can also hive off and do their own thing at any time, as always.

    The event is capped at 28 riders. This includes pillions and tagalongs who count toward the cap as accomodation is unfortunately limited.  

    Registration deposit will be $340per person for a twin share. This will be applied to a range of things including accomodation on our final night in Smithton at the 'Tall Timbers' resort including a 2 course dinner that night and a fully cooked breakfast the next day before we depart for the final day's ride to Devonport. Your deposit also covers you for a 3 course buffet dinner on our first night in St Helens at the 'Panorama hotel' a quality event T shirt and of course our breakfast briefing in Devonport at the Argosy. Any refunds will reduce in line with commitments made by the Club. No refunds will be made after 14th February 2026.

    Trip Notes will be issued soon after registration. They outline the itinerary with everything you need to book ahead including accomodation. Hunters are encouraged to make their Spirit bookings, however, promptly after signing on. Expect plenty of company if you choose the day or evening sail on Friday 13th March and return on the evening sail on Saturday 21st March.

    A contact list will be distributed within the group to assist interaction and sharing initiatives. The default is that you are on the list...please advise promptly if you want your email or mobile withheld as the list will go out in the first communication.

    A Waitlist will operate should demand exceed places - don't be discouraged if the event fills early.
