A Weekend away to Maryborough and back via Angelo’s hobby farm, check out his gyrocopters.
Ride put together as a joint effort Angelo, Gino and I.
Angelo will lead the ride, I will support him and Gino will be the tail rider and whom ever is behind me your help is vital, please be the corner marker thanks.
Angelo, Gino and I done some scouting, it will be a great weekend, accommodation for that weekend is going fast so I have booked 2 x 6 bed and 1 x 4 bed cabins giving a total of 16 beds at $25 per bed secured, so its first in best dressed. Any thing over that it’s what ever is available.

Comments
And it just goes to show, that if people want to organise a ride it can be done!
Thanks for the accolades Remo.
But really the last weekend was what it was all about.
A beautifully organised ride, with lots of rider support (!) and friendship. Really enjoyed the breakfast.
It was you, Gino, and Anjo who did all that - and above and beyond the call.
That's what the club is about.
Thanks to you, and the future of the Vespa Club of Melbourne.
