March 1999 Itinerary

March

Weekend Bombala – Tour of Duty Ian Payne leading

6th- 8th 10 am Hallam

Based loosely on Australian Motorcycle News’s annual tour of duty, we will be covering many of the same roads. First night Bombala, second night Adaminaby. Roads are fantastic and lightly travelled, scenery is magnificent, and the company will be entertaining. This will be last long weekend of good weather for the year, so get motivated and get out there. Expect about 1500 km for the weekend. So you’ll need a decent set of tyres to last the trip. See flyer inside for more details.

Sunday 14th Eildon Paul Tallents leading

9.30 am KBCP, 10.30 am Whittlesea

Some of the best roads around Melbourne are on the way to Eildon. Paul knows them well and will pick the best ones. First servo on the right past the pub if you are going to Whittlesea directly.

Thurs. 19th Social Sip - Baden Powell Hotel, 61 Victoria Parade, Collingwood, 7 pm

Come and have a game of pool or two. Good food, good company.

Sunday 21st Korumburra Tony Prictor leading

9.30 am KBCP, 10.15 am Hallam

Central Gippsland offers a great variety of roads from those built to accommodate milk trucks: big, sweeping, fast to tight and twisty goat tracks such as along the Grand Ridge Road. Something for everyone. Summer is the best time to go because it is usually a bit cooler down there. There are few cars making it even better. Follow Tony on his new toy. Expect around 450 km for the day.

Sunday 28th Broadford Nick Casemore leading

9.30 am KBCP, 10.15 am Hallam

Sounds like a bit of a circle ride up through the Dandenongs (Emerald, Woori Yallock, Healesville) and around through Kinglake and maybe Flowerdale and Strath Creek. All good roads. Nick’s last couple of rides have been down onto the Peninsula and have been very well attended. This will be no exception: expect plenty of bikes and corners. Probably around 350 km for the day.

April

Thursday 1st General Meeting, Guest Speaker

8.15 pm Club Hall

Weekend Adelaide Hills Ben Warden leading

Fri 2nd to Hotel Accommodation

Mon 5th 9 am West Gate Bridge Shell Sevo

Same format as last year with pub accommodation on the outskirts of Adelaide (Murray Bridge last year) with day trips around the hills and down to Victor Harbour. Fantastic roads, great accommodation, good company. It was one of the best trips we did last year. See Ben with a $30 deposit to secure a room.
