MONDAY RED PLATE RIDES

There seemed to be a little confusion about the Red Plate Monday rides. They will continue every Monday for those who wish to turn up, it is only the 4th Sunday ride in January that is not scheduled to happen. Our regular Sunday club rides will commence in February with the Cape Patten run.

It was discussed at the last SMCC meeting about where to start the Monday rides from, and the Ride Committee has decided to leave the starting point in Barrabool Rd near the convenience block where it has been for several years.

We hope you all had a safe Christmas and New Year and hope to see some of you on our rides in 2024.

End of year / Christmas Red plate ride report 18-12-23.

What a perfect way to finish off a great year of Red plate Monday Rides, 20 Riders on an endless variety of bikes.

Weather held off while we rode out through towards the Golden Plains, and then finished up back in Geelong West at Guy’s place for the long promised Egg & Bacon Toasties, and the wait was worth it.

The Pigs Ear award was ceremonially handed onto lucky recipient Magoo, for him demonstrating his German Spaceships passing abilities on the lead rider !

I’m sure Magoo will be on the lookout for the next recipient.

Thanks Guy for organising and your hospitality.

Next Scheduled Red Plate Monday ride is 08/01/23

SPORTING TT / End of Year Breakup Ride – This Sunday ! – 10/12/2023

The ride will be run in conjunction with the SMCC end of year breakup both starting and finishing at our club rooms in Bellarine St, meeting around 9.00am with a departure time of 9.30.

We ask members to come along on the oldest or smallest capacity bikes they have access to for a fun ride around the Bellarine Peninsula, stopping at Barwon Heads for a coffee before heading back to the clubrooms for a Special Bott BBQ lunch and refreshments.

The ride his open to all club members and friends on bikes or cars, old or new, so even if you don’t have an old or small bike you are very welcome to come along on what you have, but it will be a fairly slow ride with the little bikes leading the way.

Hope to see you there.
