update 9-Dec: destination will be tooradin. let's try to be at the cafe by 8:30 ish so have time before a 9am dep, and with enough fuel.  Weather is looking perfect, hope to see you there.  

After the airfield how about we do a burn down the mcdonald track to poowong then loop home from there.

------ 

The pilots are back.  with even more devious plans to beat us this time.

Hope to see everyone participating in this fun event we hold every Dec 

See you at the cafe in good time for a 9am start

If you haven't ridden much with the club in 2016 now is a good opportunity before the year is out, make Dec-11 the event, everyone welcome.

Pilots have said they should be able to offer joy flights at their cost price again this year.

more ride plan details coming next week...

it was threatening to drizzle at the cafe but cleared into a perfect day.

There was a tremendous turnout to the ride, 17 bikes!  In order L-R of the group photo: bikes:  mark (kwaka), me (aprilia), Josh( suz), Graham (GS), Rod + friend (busa), Mike (bmw), John( tiger), dave (honda), avi (fjr), sol + pauline (duc), volvi (harley), Jeff (tiger), Peter (gs), Sam (tenere), Howie (harley), Matti + Pillion( gs), Barry( xjr)

Plane : Leon & braham,   Plane : Joel and Ivan

Bikes arrived pretty much a draw with Joel just coming thru the gate to the apron.

Leon had problems with an engine cowling catch so was delayed 5 mins (one of the few problems i've never had with the caponord!)

a few went up for joy flights.  Noone was interested in the planned onward ride to poowong, warrigul,  so we rode back in small groups.  Home by 1pm.
