Old Bike Australasia

Velo Vincent Rally

- Report Joanne Wenden

There were 11 Velo’s and 7 Vincents on the Saturday run, which was a good turn out for us. Nice to see some new faces, camping were Murray Barr and Cheryl Fennell who were making their way down to do the Tassie Tour with their bikes in tow. We had a big run organised for the Saturday about 185km, starting at Oberon to Black Springs, Mt David, Rockley, Perthville and on to the Old Vale Circuit which was used for racing in the 1930s before Mt Panorama. We did a lap of the circuit for nostalgia and everyone stayed below 60 km/h. Then it was on to the O’Connell pub for lunch followed by a short way back to Oberon via the Mutton Falls Road, turning off just before Tarana. After returning to the camp, there was a short time for a break, and off to the railway museum just up the road, which a kind gentleman volunteere­d to open up especially for us. Sunday we did a small run of about 100km after brekkie. Thanks to Peter Wolfenden for organising all that. The Jenolan Caves Caravan Park, we all agreed was a good venue, the cabins seemed bigger than what we were used to, and on a whole we gave it a big tick of approval.
