Whittlesea to Mt. Baw Baw


Well all went to plan met up with tape,hidepenny and javaman 10 am whitlsea ten minutes later of to flowerdale and up glenburn road where andi took a few photos.Then proceeded to toolangi and at the turn of 3 cop cars and assorted traffic so made out like they wernt there .Got to chum creek road then the fun began,how quick can you get passed a line of vintage cars After that little game we proceeded to yarra junction and on to nooje.At the turn of we decieded to go straight to baw baw and get lunch on the way back as hidepenny had to get back early arvo.


There was not a lot of traffic up the baw baw road so there was a bit of a spirited run up there nothing super fast but enough to keep your attension on the road.I was waiting at the top then hidepenny and tape turned up,then an ooppsy While stopping hidepenny dropped his bike when brakeing at low speed .There was a fair amount of paint of the fairing,bent gear lever and scuffed engine cover but he was ok.After a breif chat he headed of and the rest of us had a rest then headed back to nooje.On arrival there were 20 tractors pulling up so to avoid a long wait for meals we decieded to have a snack at the local shop.Tape left from there and me ,kazz and andi had a bite to eat then went of to get some petrol.This is where andi departed and headed towards koranburra,me and kazz went back the way we came .I had a little play with a gixxer i was just crusing on the sweepers $1.20 and he over took me,but surprise surprise there were a few tighter corners and i was lighting the way for him as he seemed a little lost. All in all a good run bugger about the drop but no-one was hurt in the making of this ride so alls good.Thanks to all that attended and to the others that didnt,You missed out.
