Ride and Ruffit Rally 2018
We have been invited by the Bendigo Historic Motorcycle Club to a weekend at their Llanelly club rooms, (VicRoads Ref 43 F5), 4 kms west of Newbridge, on Sat 13th and Sun 14th October. (Please note date change as previous date clashes with the Moto GP). The club rooms are a converted historic school situated on spacious, grassed grounds.
Participants can bring their tent, swag, sleeping bags etc and sleep in the club rooms, in the supplied marquees, under a tree, under the stars etc. There is plenty of space for your car, ute, caravan, etc. There are water, toilet and shower facilities.
The BHMCC will provide all meals which includes lunch on Saturday, Saturday dinner, Sunday breakfast, Sunday lunch and all the tea, coffee, biscuits etc that you care to have. All this for the total cost of just $70 per person. I must say that that the meals provided in previous years have been fantastic and I’m sure this time will be no exception.
Notes
If you don’t want to ‘ruffit’ the nearest motels are in Dunolly and Bridgewater Fuel is not available at Llanelly or Newbridge but is available at Bridgewater 20kms NE, Inglewood 20kms N, Dunolly 20kms SW
