- Report John Cox Photos Cooper Brownlee

Friday’s short shakedown run was to the historic Talbot Hotel. We had hot weather for Saturday’s run to Maldon where we had lunch and browsed the historic shops. Our return was an incident-free 100km run via Eddington and Carisbrook. Sunday’s run was via Newstead to Clunes Showground­s for the Truck Show where our bikes were displayed in a designated area. A mini dust storm followed by some rain had a few depart early and we returned to the Maryboroug­h Hockey Field car park for a short display and the voting for awards. Monday’s ride was out to Talbot and then to Lexton before proceeding on to Avoca for morning tea and returning to Maryboroug­h. Our dinner at the historic railway station restaurant was held in the main function room where presentati­ons by rally organiser Matthew Gellert were made.
