For those not going down to the Geelong 'Blokes Day Out' Event, here's a good run out to the East.
The Club has been invited up to Gembrook by Clem and Sarah who run the Gourmet Garage Cafe (inside the old Motoring garage / museum), where we'll have lunch. Clem is also a passionate scooterist - a member of the Melbourne Crusaders - and friend of Vespa House.
Hi Julie,
lunch on the 1st April would be fine. Please let me know how many people might be interested and we can arrange some great food on your arrival.
I look forward to catching up then.
Cheers
Clem
This should be a pleasant and easy 160K ride, suitable for all ranges of bikes. It would be great see some of our member classics on the run too. Possibly some wet weather - so come prepared. This an ideal first time - new member ride too.
Gembrook is a scenic historic town and home of the Puffing Billy and other things to see. Gembrook Tourist Site
So: Meet at the Abbotsford Convent on Sunday morning: Ride out at 9 AM to get us out of the city.
Lunch in Gembrook at approximately 12 Noon.
Mike will meet us at 1.30 PM for a 'Mystery Ride' down to Berwick
Arriving back in St Kilda for a coffee at The Fringe Cafe 3.30 / 4.00 PM. 160K round trip
FULL MAP here ; we can vary the route - any ideas?

We'll try and get out of the city fast - but expect some traffic lights / break up.
Coffee in Yarra junction. - probably about 10 ish
Then Phil can take us down to his home town Gembrook.
Light lunch at the Gourmet Garage - and alook around.
Mike will meet us at Gembrook at 1.30 ish and lead us on a Mystery ride south to Berwick.
From there we'll travel up the nepean, cut across to Black Rock and ride up the beach to St Kilda.
Now, you know everyone, that once I cross the Yarra I am in a foreign country - so hopefully we won't get lost. Ha
Excellent Mike
Just spoke to Clem and he is going to put on a couple of gourmet platters for us all at about $5 a head which is great. Looks like there will be about 14 riders so lets hope the weather holds out for us....See you all tomorrow.
That's great Phil...see you Sunday.....
Yes Greg it looks like a wery nice ride and a day out.
I am looking forward for that,I am going to be at the convent as early as I can,
so I dont missed it.
This ride is now 160K - now that's a nice day out - and finishes in St Kilda at Fringe.
With a Mystery Ride hosted by Mike between Gembrook and Berwick
Come along everyone
Hi Mike
I will put up the ride route tomorrow night.
If you can attend at 130 then you could lead the group back to Berwick.. your pick of the route
Sorry guys, Anne and I can't make this one as we're doing Run For The Kids that morning. Hopefully catch up for coffee in the afternoon. Have fun!
Hope you can come Phil - you can show us the sights
