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.

    Hi all. I have just put up the room configurations and prices for the Meeniyan Motel for this 3 night event. Claim a room now if you want or start negotiating share deals. It will be a great weekend.

    Yes it's a bit expensive, but this is a 20% discount from high season prices.

    It will be three nights at the Meeniyan Motel. With Julie away, I'll be doing a recce this week to cement the finer details, and also plan a couple of the ride-outs.

    This ride is firming up. I have booked out the whole Meeniyan Motel - 3 nights over the Melb Cup Weekend. They have given us a 20% discount.  It will be the base for rides across Sth Gippsland - including Wilsons Prom -  on the Sunday and Monday. I will put the room options up next week for booking. The emphasis will need to upon sharing rooms if you can.  But if you are IN now, please put your name down under this event as interested. Very exciting riding coming up.

    Beautiful rolling hills of South Gippsland, Victoria,Australia.
