Route Map
This is another short winter ride (180ks) trying to return home by 3 PM to beat the afternoon rains. Melbourne will leave from Brooklyn United Servo at 8.30 am. Cnr Grieve Parade & Geelong Rd. MAP
We'll ride through the back country roads to Gisborne which has a huge market. 'Gisborne olde time market". Then a short ride up to Mount Macedon for some lunch. We'll visit the cross for a spectacular view of Melbourne. Return home via Sunbury for an afternoon coffee in Lygon Street, Carlton at 3 PM
________________________________________
The green green Macedon ride will suit all levels of rider skill and bike. Bring your classic along. It will be an all country road ride. Wet weather gear. Sunny day is forecast, but the morning will be cold. If it is too wet we will modify the ride to Gisborne market only. The ride route may be modified to create a meeting point with Geelong riders.

What a great day. Every weather condition (except snow) you could think of and just a fun day had by all. Happy BDay Lisa, what an excellent day to get out there and just cruise. Thanks Greg and Julie. Cant wait to get the opportunity to get out there again with the gang. So many first for me on the Vespa today, tunnels, the bridge, fog etc. It was a cracker of a day.
I still feel the cold, but I still enjoyed the ride thanks for every one there, and happy birthday Lisa.
Yes it is easy to have fun simply with a Vespa and good company,
Cheers Gino.
