Ride to: Mirboo North

Start Finish:

Sunday, 13 August, 2017 - 09:00 to 14:30

Distance:

260km

Stops:

504 Centre Rd Bentleigh (Coffee Fix), Inline 4 Cafe 96 Ridgway Mirboo North Vic.

Occasion:

Arbitrary

Captain:

Sam Blumenstein

Plan:

We will follow the following route more or less...

Tooradin, Lang Lang, Poowong, Korumburra, Leongatha and Mirboo North.

Home via Trafalgar, Warragul, Drouin, Longwarry, Nar Nar Goon onto the M1 freeway.

As usual the ride is subject to the prevailing weather conditions. After a pretty dismal winter so far our opportunities to ride in any sort of comfort have been few and far between so if we are fortunate with the weather next Sunday make every effort to come along and enjoy the day. The Inline 4 Cafe is our lunch stop and according to Josh it's a motorcycle friendly mecca in the east Gippsland region.

We know it will not be "hot" so make sure to wear layers and bring cool weather gear as well as rain gear just in case.

Report:

Plenty of ride takers today. Glad so many braved the cool start to the day and came out on this ride. We kept the route direct in order to avoid slippery back roads as it had rained significantly the night before. Once reaching Mirboo North the weather was fine and about 18 degrees C. The only problem was our Inline 4 Cafe lunch stop did not happen as the cafe was sealed shut despite their web site telling us they would be open.

We diverted to the Mirboo North Pub for lunch and then home via Warragul, Drouin, Nar Nar Goon and the M1. Some left us and took the quicker more direct route straight down the M1.
