Well, this one was in the planning for a while, and the uptake was quick once it was
announced. It’s great to see members enjoying the longer two-day rides.

Leading into the start date, we were booked out, however, while still unpredictable, a
couple of our group came down with Covid. One of the girls a week before, and one of the
guys two days before. A couple of quick accommodation re-shuffles and we were good to
go. Then one of the guy’s partners got ill the night before and ended up not being able to
come along on the day.
Thirteen of us met at the start and headed off via Anakie and Balliang to Ballan for our first
stop. Weather cool but fine. From here it was out through Blackwood and Trentham, where
the temperature dropped (as it always does!) down to single figures. As we came off the
ranges through Spring Hill, Malmsbury and Taradale, it warmed up, and we unofficially
tagged the beginning of the Pyrenees Highway at Elphinstone.
