I must have had a "memory moment", as I've still got a gap on the ride calendar. Can anyone please help me out as a ride leader on Sunday 3rd May? It doesn't have to be complex. Lilydale or Epping and heading north or Eildon way perhaps?

Brian has already listed the Odyssey starting 9th October at Wangaratta again. Never to early to book a cabin at Painters Island. Details still being polished but there will be a ride up on the Friday and a day ride on the Saturday. A great weekend away and the opportunity to socialise with Ulysseans from further afield.

Please keep an eye on the calendar for upcoming social events and rides.

I believe the combined ride to south west Victoria and the pub lunch at Smythesdale with other branches and people was a success - a report has been published

The Annual Alpine Run has been run and done – ride report done under “Groups”.  I had a really good time.

Daylight Savings end this Sunday, if you forget to sleep in, you can have an extra coffee before Sunday’s ride.

The social night is on 15^th April – Brian would love your RSVP to help with table bookings   

We have another multi day ride coming up out west starting 19 April from Ardeer.  We already have two couples registered and we’ll meet others along the way.  It will double as a Sunday ride from Ardeer to lunch at the Smythesdale pub where Maryanne and Hank plan to meet us. Even if not doing full ride, consider coming along for the day ride.  Some names and numbers will be appreciated so we can give the pub some pre-lunch numbers.  

The ride calendar has been filled until the end of…

To those coming, see you all in the morning.

There may have been a dusting of snow atop Hotham today. None forecast for tomorrow, but temperature below 10 degrees as we cross the top, so dress warm. Being cold can bring on fatigue more quickly.

Despite all the media hype, I'm not aware of any fuel supply issues on our route apart from price. First stop will be at Timberline in Heyfield where those with limited range can top up.  A local friend will meet us there and escort us through to Bruthen the back way (not via Bairnsdale) and a fill up is recommended at Bruthen to get us over the mountain. Petrol is available at Swifts Creek and/or Omeo for those with limited range.

A fill up at Mt Beauty is recommended on Saturday arvo before we settle in at Tawonga for the night.

Sunday morning - earlyish…
