Hi Noelene
I have just updated the route sorry. We won't need to stop for lunch but we most likely will be having a coffee/morning tea in Redesdale.
Would love you still to be able to join us though.

If you are still thinking about joining this ride you will need to book your own accommodation now. We had limited rooms available due to high tourism in Bendigo and now Election Day.
We are hoping to book the Exhbition for 3pm and you will all need to purchase your own ticket as there is no group booking discounts. I will update this shortly to confirm that time.
Dinner information for Saturday evening will be provided shortly.
Please mark your attendance for the Breakfast on Sunday morning also.
