The Sporting Motorcycle Club is hosting its popular 4th Sunday Ride, offering riders a thrilling combination of dirt and road adventures this coming Sunday 23rd.

The ride will take riders to the charming town of Forrest, with two distinct options to cater to different riding disciplines.

For those seeking an adrenaline-pumping off-road experience, Beak will lead the way on a bush adventure ride to Forrest. This challenging route promises to take riders through semi rugged terrain, testing their skills and offering breathtaking natural vistas of the Otways.

Alternatively, for those who prefer a scenic coastal journey, Jumbo will guide riders along the iconic Great Ocean Road. This route will showcase the stunning coastline, passing through picturesque towns like Lorne and Skenes Creek before meeting up with the dirt riders in Forrest.

Both groups are expected to arrive in Forrest around midday, where they can enjoy a well-deserved break with refreshments, food, and the opportunity to socialise with fellow riders. The ride will conclude with a leisurely return journey into Geelong..

Riders are to meet at the Bellarine St club rooms at 9:00 am for a 9:30 am departure. The weather forecast predicts a fresh start to the day, but with the sun expected to emerge and temperatures reaching a comfortable 14 C, it promises to be perfect riding weather.

So dust off that bike, pull on your thermals, Spread the word and hope to see you there.

Come along Tuesday Night for all your Permit and Membership renewals, Plus catch up with mates and talk bikes.

Plus as a extra Bonus I’ve heard our resident chef Bott is preparing a Delicious surprise meal, so It might be worth skipping Lunch!.

Official kick off time is 730pm, but if you arrive earlier I’m sure you’ll find the lights on and the door open. Hope to See you there.
