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.<\/p>\n<p>I had a nice easy ride up to Yea, I&#8217;d been told to meet at the bakery at 1pm. I hadn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>After introductions we soon geared up and headed towards <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/gWumWkzuX1k\">Falls Creek<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.epicmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160311_182753.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-121\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-121\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.epicmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160311_182753-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Some of the marshals bikes\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.epicmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160311_182753-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.epicmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160311_182753-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.epicmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160311_182753.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">My weekend started on the Friday morning.
