Let’s  all ride by getting on our motorbikes or trikes and riding down
The Great Ocean Road to Lorne.

So  come  along  and  be  part  of  a great social ride which takes in
panoramic  views of where the hills meet the ocean. You will be riding
through little coastal resort towns dotted along the way.

Let’s  all meet at the Shell Westgate Outbound at 9.30am and saddle up
for a 10.00 am ride out.

Ride  down  the  Geelong Hwy, turning off to Geelong and riding to the
Texas  Café  (28 Mercer St.) for a chat, drinks and toilet break. Then
ride  off  to Lorne, via The Great Ocean Road, for lunch, refreshments
and  a  look around the town. As a suggestion, we could go to the Arab
Café or to the Pub for lunch, or select your own eatery.

On  the return ride we turn left as we leave Lorne and head up through
the  forest,  through  Deans  Marsh and onto Princes Highway, stop off
for  a  break  and  then return home via the Princes and Geelong Hwys.
Going home you may wish to stick to the program or make your own way.

The  route  will include open highway and you will encounter hilly and
very  windy roads. The Great Ocean Road is heavily policed, so take it
easy everyone and ride safely.

All  members are encouraged to turn up and have a great day. This ride
will  further reinforce our passion to ride for the IRG. So come along
and shoot the sea breeze!

If  you  are unable to commence the run at the starting point, you are
most  welcome  to  meet  up  with the riders on route or at one of the
stops.

Ride  route:  Independant Westgate Outbound, Geelong, Anglesea, Lorne,
Anglesea, Independant Westgate Inbound.

Run  duration:  About  4hrs.  30 mins. (Plus 2 ride breaks and a lunch
time stop)

Distance from start to end: Approx. 280 km (1 day ride).

Stolen from Rod.

Thanks Buddy
