Are you ready to ride?
A ride for everyone. A core group rides around the bay on a tight schedule involving as many riders as possible. The target is 100 + rider participation. You can ride one, two legs, or right the way round. It's all about your choice. Be at one the meeting points with a full tank and geared up and ready to ride. It's open to all scooters, but we organize primarily for the Vespa Club of Australia.
It's a charity ride, so there's a $10 ride levy, donated to our Cambodia Project. Register at a meeting point and get your badge.

Understandings.
- We can't stop for breakdowns. If you have an issue then you'll need to be prepared to deal with it.
- The ride is organised and marshalled so that everyone has a good time. If you are not a member then you are our guest! We ask that you to follow the directions of the ride marshals and ride safely. We reserve the right to exclude you from the ride if we consider that you are putting other riders at risk.
Comments
Chris and I will be only coming as far as Sorrento- won't be crossing over to Queenscliff
The Vespa Day Around the Bay ride is always in memory of our most enthusiastic member and friend Phil Agar. Phil died in 2015 after a very long and heroic struggle with cancer. The ride in 2014 was on his final to-do bucket list, and he was elated to complete the ride right around that year. We remember Phil each year with the blue ribbon attached to your ride badge. Phil rode a bright blue bike. We'll see you on the ride, and I am sure Phil will be riding with us again too: FB event details: https://www.facebook.com/events/1040977009575636/
