I'm cookin'

Four days of riding and a  3 night stay away - fantastic riding through South Gippsland, Wilson's Prom and beyond.

Our base will be the township of Meeniyan. I've done a deal with the Motel there and booked out the whole place with a 20% discount off the advertised high season rates for three nights. Meeniyan is a small town promoting itself as a gateway to Wilsons Prom. Apart from our Motel it has a great pub, a number of cafes and restaurants, as well as an IGA supermarket and a petrol station. It ticks all the boxes for a group ride.

Room options have been posted. Scroll below to claim a room. With Julie away, I'll be doing a recce ride / drive this week to cement this in. Stay tuned for more.

Ride details / meeting points / will be posted soon as they are confirmed. The ride wil be led by PX - so get your 2-strokes ready. I have invited David to help plan this ride too... so let's see what happens.

The event picture is of Betty Nyguen. This picture was taken on a ride through South Gippsland 10 years ago. Sadly, Betty passed away earlier this year. This ride is in her memory.

    I did a recce drive yesterday and today and checked out some excellent roads. We'll do The Grand Ridge Road straight up on the first day - beautiful. The road from archies Creek to Loch is also great. The Motel facility is excellent - older style motel but maintained to a very high and clean standard. Beds arer great. Outdoor BBQ and sitting area also really good. If you'd like to reserve aroom, we are open.
