Summer ride to Mirboo Nth

 A quick ride report.


Started late and meeting up at Tooradin at 11pm saw 3 of us taking the back roads to Mirboo North.

An ecletic mix of bikes - vintage gpz900r, DR650, and Harley Davidson Bobber taking detour to the Gurdies - St Hellier road.



This is the gateway to South Gippsland which I love most. As the past few years the Spurs were getting really busy.


Up to Kernot at leisurely pace with our Mrs on the back then quick stop at the Glen Alvie road intersection for a yarn.




Enjoying the blue skies and twisties of Glen Alvie road, then turning left to Kongwak up to Bena.


My usual route usually take us to Arawata with 2km of dirt to Hallston, but alas we have a 4 months old shiny Harley in the mix! So off to Leongatha for brief freeway section.


Back to Hallston and cruising through fast twisties section up to that 10m of dirt which never been surfaced since I rode here in 2005. What's up with that!


In any case we arrived at Mirboo North unscathed. Few pies later we make our way back. It was now 5pm and the sun is still up on our heads. Did I say I love Victorian summer?!


To make the return route interesting we turn right after Hallston towards SeaView. Quite a bit of technical sections up to Hallora. The old GPZ just barely idling by powering on corners at 4000rpm.


 Who needs a screamer.


As you can see I am alive and kicking.


Have fun.
