For those coming along to escort riders of the Vespa Club of Sydney to Moe on Sunday, there is an option to extend the ride across Monday which will put us in a beautiful part of the world. Our overnight stay will be in Yarram (96kms further on from Moe). Accommodation will be at the Ship Inn Motel. Thanks Julie for organising this.
On Monday morning we will ride along the sublime Tarra Valley Road. The Tarra-Bulga National Park is situated at the eastern end of the Strzelecki Ranges and comprises a cool temperate rain forest - a wonderland of tall mountain ash, ancient myrtle beeches, fern gullies and moss covered tree trunks. Our beautiful route criss-crosses the Tarra River six times as we climb up through the narrow valley onto the mountains above. This primordial valley of fern tree gullies is verdant and cool. In fact in the midst of an Aussie summer in January, Tarra Valley will probably be the coolest, greenest place in Victoria. We might even have time to dabble our toes in the river.
Lunch on Monday will be at Yarragon and if we are running to schedule, we'll include some delightful little roads in the hills above the town.
So, for those who are free to ride on Sunday 21 and Monday 22 January, this will be a memorable ride through beautiful country. Please indicate your attendance in this event on this page.

Thanks for letting us know James. What a shame, I was going to sneak a bit of McDonald's Track into the ride :-) Next time.
Hi James, sorry to hear you have hurt yourself more so than work got in the way... hope you are OK soon. I will cancel your room. See you Sunday.
Hi all Gippslanders coming on the Tarra Valley ride. Would you like to join us in Traralgon for a late lunch where we will farewell the Sydney club riders? Otherwise let us know where you will hook up with us, David
Hi Brett. Welcome to the club. I am sure you are finding that a Vespa is very different from a motorcycle. But given time I‘m sure you will find it a lot of fun. Accommodation requirements noted, David
Just to confirm I require a room twin share for Ron and myself please. Thanks Guys!
Hello Julie/David, I'll have a twin please, either by myself or if anyone want to share. Thanks kindly, Sheryl
Thanks for letting us know Pete. Please confirm your accommodation requirements ASAP if you haven’t already done so or haven’t yet told us you are coming. Rooms have been booked but there may need to be changes so your response will be appreciated. Looking forward to catching up soon.
Hi David. Happy New Year to you and Imam. Looking forward to seeing you guys. Ron and I will need a twin room on Sunday night as he will be my chaperone, so as the red one doesn't run away.
Count Brett (hubby and newly acquired Vespa owner) and I are in and will require a room. Ride looks amazing.
