Cobaws Port & Pikelet Ride
Sunday 
21st May 2017

It’s that time again!! Come and join us for yummy pikelets with jam & cream…yummm.  Come and enjoy the morning by the camp fire with a nip of port, or tea & coffee if you prefer to enjoy with your pikelets prior to the ride commencing at 10.30am.

DIRECTIONS:  The ride will start off the Burke and Wills Track (on the left after Lancefield township – over Mustey’s Bridge) in the Cobaw Forest.  We have had to move the meeting spot this year to a couple of kilometers up the road, it’s on the same side (LHS if travelling from Lancefield) and approx 5km after the Benloch district sign but we will guide you in with the club signage.

Riding will be on sandy / gravel roads and tracks with flat to undulating terrain. There may be the odd hill but they will not be too severe. Tea and coffee & hopefully some pikelets left over from the morning will be available after the ride approx. 2.30pm
