SE Gippsland Ride from Fish Creek on Sat 6th - Sun 7th May
Registrations close this Thursday 4 May
As part of the 100 years celebration of manufacturing BMW motorcycles we'd like you to join us in discovering an unspoiled and windswept part of Victoria, which will take you through windy hills, amazing ocean views and the southern most part of the Australian landmass!
We've put together an eventful weekend with a stay at the iconic Fish Creek Hotel on Saturday evening, 6th May, which will include rides from multiple locations into Fish Creek on Saturday morning. Then after lunch at the Fish Creek Hotel we'll ride down to Wilson's Prom. There we'll get to enjoy Bass Strait and the amazing ocean view, before returning to Fish Creek for an entertaining evening.
On Sunday morning our local guide Paul Koedijk will take us through the lovely SE Gippsland countryside, before stopping at the Fish Creek Hotel one last time. Then it will be time to head home in the afternoon.
