We will meet at the B.P Service Centre on the left hand side just past Calder Park Raceway at 9.00 am. Please fill your petrol tanks and we will leave the B.P. at 9.30 am. Please note the Burnley Tunnel and Bolte Bridge are closed from 7.00 am until 1.00 pmfor a charity fun run. Some alternative routes are Kings Way onto the Westgate Freeway, then the Western Ring Road or enter the Tullamarine Freeway from Flemington Rd.
We might take some back roads from Kyneton to Redesdale (C326) to Eppalock to Bendigo (C327). Can anyone give me some feed back on this route?
We’ll have brunch / lunch in Bendigo, then view the collection for a couple of hours. The ride back might be through Sedgewick, Sutton Grange to Elphingstone on the Calder Highway. Can anyone give me some feed back on this route? The distance from Melbourne to Bendigo will be approx. 150km each way.
Tony Houlihan is organising the ride and can be contacted at tonyhoulihan@optusnet.com.au or mobile 0407 600 610.
