My weekend started on the Friday morning. Packing the bike before heading to Yea to meet a few of the other motorcycle marshals before heading to Falls Creek. Being a much shorter trip than the nine days at the Great Victorian Bike Ride, I had spare space aplenty. Leaving a bit later than I planned I headed via Eastlink and Lilydale. This meant more traffic but more direct.

I had a nice easy ride up to Yea, I’d been told to meet at the bakery at 1pm. I hadn’t been to Yea for quite a few years, so I was surprised to find a number of bakeries. I soon spotted a gaggle of motorbikes that looked suitably marshal like. I eventually found then at the other bakery, not the one they were parked nearest to.

After introductions we soon geared up and headed towards Falls Creek. We took the more motorcycle friendly route through Mansfield, Tawonga Gap (no torrential downpour this time!) and Mt Beauty. Little traffic made it a great ride up.

The climb up to Falls Creek was made a little more exciting as it had rained recently enough that there were patches of wet road in the shadows. Even so it was a great ride up.
