November 2001 MSTCV Itinerary

 

Weekend        Orbost, Walwa (Saturday -Tuesday inclusive)                   Ben Warden leading

3rd to 6th          10 am Hallam

 

Four days of riding in some of the best motorcycling country in the world. Book those annual leave days now. Day 1 will see us head to Orbost via Dargo. On Day 2 we will push up into forest country of southern NSW picking up the Snowy Mountains Highway and the Alpine Way. All sealed. Sensational. We’ll book 2 nights at the Walwa pub on the banks of the Murray River at $21 per night including breakfast; single rooms. Day 3 we’ll head to Kiandra and Tumut and back to Walwa via Rosewood along Rhys’s favourite road. To top it off we’ll head home around the incredible Murray Valley Highway and Tawonga Gap. Mega kays. Mega fun. Be there.

 

Sunday 4th       Longwood       10.15 am Yarra Glen                                          Ron Johnston leading         

Ron pre-rode this ride with the Ulysses Club and thought it was so good he would lead our Club over a similar route. We may find ourselves exploring the interesting roads around Ruffy and the Strathbogie Ranges. Be aware: this ride may not suit inexperienced riders due to the distances involved. Expect around 500 km for the day.

 

Sunday 11th     Pig & Whistle Counter Lunch, East Trentham                           Ian Payne leading                       10.15 am Yarra Glen

 

Bookings are essential to guarantee a seat so ring Ian and confirm your intentions. This ride may suit a pillion as we will be traversing less demanding roads at a more leisurely pace. Expect around 300 easy kilometers for the day. If traveling directly, we expect to arrive around 1 pm for lunch.                                          

Saturday 17th  Nar Nar Goon North dirt ride                                                     Dave Ward  leading

                        9.30 am BP Servo Packenham

 

Get out and get dirty with Dave. There are a surprising number of dirt bike owners amongst our fold and what better than to go for a dirt ride with your mates. Ring Dave for details.

 

Sunday 18th     Willow Grove (near Moe) 10.15 am Yarra Glen                         Rob Langer  leading

                       

The route will include the fabulous Powelltown Road. Willow Grove is north of the Princes Highway between Moe and Noojee. It is reached by taking a right turn 13 km after Noojee on the Mt Baw Baw road. Very interesting and lightly traveled roads in this area of Gippsland. Come and join Rob on either his trusty VFR or BMW R1100. Expect around 350 km for the day.

 

Sunday 25th     Drouin                                                                              Tim Walker leading

                        10.15 am Yarra Glen

 

Tim will lead us down to Noojee for morning tea followed by a loop up Mt Baw Baw and back, and on to Drouin for lunch. Given everyone will be fairly tuckered out after the Baw Baw excursion we’ll probably head back to break up at Launching Place. Expect around 350 km of twisty roads.
