Up to Kinglake West and on to Flowerdale, Strath Creek and Broadford for morning tea after an easy 66 km. Then on to Pyalong, Lancefield and Daylesford or Woodend for lunch. Break-up at Tullamarine Airport under the flight path. Expect around 335 km for the day.

 

Easter             Yea Pillion ride                                                                          Dennis Lindemann leading

Sat. 11th          10 am Yarra Glen

The proposed route is up and down Chum Creek and Myers Creek roads (bit twisty for pillions?) with first stop in Healesville. Then around to Alexandra and Yea for a leisurely lunch. On to Kerrisdale, Strath Creek, and Broadford to finish at Wallan. Expect around 230 km for the day.

 

Easter             Thompson’s Dam                                                                                         leader required

Sunday 12th    10 am Yarra Glen

Given the start and finishing points the ride route is fairly self evident. Expect Noojee for morning tea and fuel, though no Premium. On through Hill End and left directly to Thompson’s Dam. Back to Rawson for lunch, or maybe press on to Tyers and Moe for a late lunch and fuel. The return trip will likely include the Old Sale Road and Jindivick to break-up at Longwarry North near the freeway. An alternative is to work our way back through the Neerims and Nayook to finish at Powelltown. The leader could run this ride in the reverse direction, another option. Around 290 km of brilliant roads for the day.
