Melbourne Riders - Meet at the Britannia Mall, 485 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham at 10:30. Phil Clark will lead the Melbourne group to The Robin Hood Pub via the more relaxed back roads.

FUEL - fuel availability is limited after Neerim Junction. Modern Vespas (with a single rider) will make it up and back down the hill with fuel to spare. 95 Octane fuel is available at Neerim Junction and this will be our fuel stop before riding up to Mt Baw Baw. Classic Vespa riders would need a jerry can just in case!

This ride is suitable for experienced riders only. The roads are winding, narrow and steep at times with frequent 4WD traffic, however the general condition of the road is good. Please take a look at the map before deciding to attend.

    Shame to postpone but can see your points - will the accomodation be okay with short notice James?

    Hi James, only good news from BOM is a low fire danger everything looking crappy particularly a risk of debris on the roads postponement makes sense. Thx again  look forward to next time. Cheers Phil

    Good call to postpone James.

    With the rain this week, there is a risk of gravel washouts , and tree falls.

    Happy to reschedule, but myself away until end of May.

    PS we're skiers. If the booking becomes problematic

     I'm interested, however as would need to book accommodation, that's a risk for me if the weather is sour on the weekend, as I wouldn't wish to do a long run in the rain.

    Oh... What to do... ?
