Ride started Sat 5/11/16. Riders were Greg, Steve, Dennis, Grant, Paul, George, Scott & Smith. Scott joined the group at Bonnie Doon with a big nail through the rear tyre and was patched at the servo. Paul met with the group at Tatong for lunch. Travelled through Moyu, Bright (refuel, packed out with the Rod Run), through Harrietville and then onto Dinner Plain. Snow flurries experienced above the treeline through to Dinner Plain. Breeze made snow flakes blow across the road light sand in sand-dunes. Snow flurries again in the morning. Sunny dry weather for the trip through Omeo, Swifts Creek (coffee), Bruthen (fuel), Bairnsdale and backroads to Maffra for lunch. Fuel stop at Tyers, Dennis and Grant left the group for heading home via the main highway. Took a wrong turn and headed towards Erica but nice riding through the forest.

We had a good turn out with regulars like Greg, Smith, Doyle, George, Joel and Dennis being there. We have a surprise visit from old timer rider Rafx and a new, inaugural rider Ian. As usual roads were fabulous, this years weather was steamy with multiple fronts providing cooling showers.
