9.30 - Meeting at the Caltex Service Station at Corio, following the edge of Corio Bay to the Waterfront for a coffee break and then continuing around the water's edge to Queenscliff for lunch and a look around.
On to Barwon Heads for an ice cream and then heading back

MELBOURNE to GEELONG details
Meet at the Convent Bakery for coffee and quick bite.
Ride leaves at 8:15 am sharp.
Route 1. Straight down Geelong Road. At this hour the road is very quiet, and it's a quick safe ride. Regroup at the Liberty Servo in Brooklyn before entering the freeway. We'll stick together to support slower bikes. (Last time Julie led the way on her 150 doing 110 ks Vespa speedo). Arrive at the Caltex Servo in Geelong North at 9.30 am. Meet the Geelong crew there, and then it's their ride.
Route 2. Alternative Route off - freeway via Werribee.
> MAP Melbourne Geelong alternative
Suggest we all go down to Geelong via Route 1, and return to Melbourne route 2.
If some want to take Route 2 down, then we can split into two groups at the Convent as we did last time. However Route 2 would need to leave earlier, say 7. 45 am. Please feedback below what you want to do and whether you can lead either.

Are you still passing the Liberty in Brooklyn? I would like to link up there. Hope it's not too late for a reply. Happy to travel with either group.
We can do that after Queenscliff. We will go from Queenscliff to Pt Lonsdale and then to Barwon Heads anyway, so that small diversion to the pier is almost on the way, and probably a nice little walk after lunch
ahhhhh... the swell of the rip
Hi Tufan, Julie and Greg, I hope to make this ride. I'm at the tail end of running in a new cylinder so I'll be taking it easy - may have to do some re-jetting as well. I might skip coffee at the Convent and head down the back roads solo and meet you all at the Caltex station at 9.30am. I'll let you know via sms if I can't make it. It should be a lovely day. Not sure if Tufan has planned a walk out onto the Point Lonsdale jetty, but its great place to see the swell of the rip and look across to point Nepean on the other side.
That's great.... will be good to see you all again.
Giuseppe? I think he is coming for coffee, but he may also have organised a bike..
Robert from Geelong will be joining us. Michael looks like catching up with us after the start...
It is Christmas cray time Tufan but I am sure there will be more they just haven't added their attendance...you wait it always happens...lol....will be a magnificent ride can't wait.....and thanks for all your efforts..... my boss lives on Peers St Ocean Grove and hoping we take that little route cos it is pretty....?
Still only 9 of us - and I think maybe one more from Geelong.. any other takers?
Hmmmm I really need to go down there and plead with Frank to do mine too... please please please Frank.
