Ulysses Melbourne

Departs Lilydale.  Ride Leader John Cook 0419 599 530 or (03) 97285769.

The plan is to finish up at the BBQ / picnic spot overlooking the water (and Phillip Island) at Flinders.  So bring your picnic or BBQ food along.  It is Fathers' Day so bring family along or get them to meet us at the destination  

I plan to do a run "around the back" of the Dandenongs towards Beaconsfield area and then south from Berwick before a morning tea stop in the Baxter area and then via Mornington and the Esplanade to Dromana before back up into the hills on the peninsula and winding back to Flinders.   

The September VBC will be at Beaufort  –  between Ballarat and Ararat   at  Skinny Sisters Café, 29 Neill Street, Beaufort - http://www.skinnysisters.com.au

Usual Start time of 0930 - Make your own way.

The mystery destination has been disclosed. We are departing from Kalkallo to experience the delights of Beveridge, Eden Park, Whittlesea, Kinglake, "Struth" Creek, Tyaak, then to Broadford for morning tea. After suitable refreshment and "nature breaks" we will experience a host of secondary roads betwixt Pyalong and Seymour where we will alight for the midday repast.

All in all a lovely and entertaining ride in what is likely to be great riding weather as Spring as now sprung!

A run down south via Arthur's Seat and Sorrento this time with Greg. Despite the renouned traffic on the Peninsular Greg has found a route which manages to dodge most of that and takes us onto roads we don't very often travel. Route here https://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/Ulysses-7

Rick Rycken was planning will take us to picturesque Walhalla via Noojee and Willow Grove with morning tea about halfway along the 210klm ride. Expect a wonderful ride through the hills with such a pretty spot to finish for lunch. Ride home then is another lovely trip well designed by Rick.

Unfortunately Rick and his bike suffered a weather related incident last Saturday and whilst he is ok the same cannot be said for the Tiger. No bike - no lead ride, so Pat has taken Rick's carefully planned route and put it into his GPS and will lead the ride in his place using Rick's roads..
