Great video John and thanks Bren for calling - Looks great with all the Scooters coming off the ferry!
Fantastic John......
What an amazing day!
Fantastic weather, fantastic friends and new people to meet as well!
The bay riding was gorgeous, the water flat and blue. So many unfinished conversations!
Tremendous thanks to Greg and Julie for organising, to corner markers who helped it flow, to Josh, the elegant tail end, to the Chelsea folk for their hospitality. What a terrific day! Successful, yes, memorable, yes. A fitting tribute to Phil!
Perfect weather for a perfect day - can't wait for tomorrow...
David, happy to take backroads from Geelong to avoid the freeway.
No excuse not to get your vespa out for a ride tomorrow. Meet us somewhere around the bay and pick up your commemorative badge.
See you in the morning..
Sunday 13 December
Melbourne area
Mostly sunny. Patchy fog in the early morning. Light winds becoming west to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the early afternoon then tending southeast to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h in the afternoon.
Thanks Greg. Much appreciated. That's a relief for me anyway.
Hi David
happy for an alternative to organised back to Yarraville
Hi Derek. I'm reluctant to do the freeway from Geelong to Melbourne especially at that time of day. I had a couple of requests at the Christmas party to do the back route to Melbourne so there may be a small group of riders interested in this alternative.
