The Annual running of “Boardy’s Cape Patton Rally” Sunday the 29th of March

Is your old red plate machine collecting dust in the shed ? Time to dust it off, check tyres & oil and head down the coast for a nice cruisy ride along the Great Ocean Road to Cape Patton. 

This ride will be perfectly suited to the older slower bikes and cars, and now the holiday period is over it is expected the traffic will be light, we’ll get a chance to take in the world class views we are so lucky to live next too, while cruising with mates.

Meet at the Waurn Ponds BP Servo 9:00am on Sunday the 29th of March, 9:30am stands up, Open to all members, but members older machines encouraged. Regroup in the car park opposite the Anglesea General Store , then onto Lorne, then finish at Cape Patton.

On the return from Cape Patton the group will stop at the Kafe Koala in Kennett River for coffee.

No Support vehicle, so maybe have the trailer hitched up at home just in case the old bike needs help.

Hope to see you there, spread the word to Members.

RED PLATE MONDAY 2/03/2026

Red plate Monday on 2/03/2026 being the first Monday of the month we will be catering for anyone with old or small capacity bikes and any Red Plate cars who want to use this opportunity to give them a run. The route will be a bit shorter and probably a bit slower than some other days but all are welcome to come on their Red Plate machines.

The plan is to have a run down the Bellerine Peninsula way and return to The Eastern Hub Cafe for treats and drinks. I will try and reserve the large undercover outdoor table for us to use.

By request we will also be including the opportunity for those who wish to bring along their partners as pillions or in their cars with the chance to meet other involved members and partners.
