    Anyone going on the Eureka Run on 5th Dec?

    I'll be leaving Warragul about 8.00am for the 10.00am Westgate start if anyone else in Gippsland interested.

    Hey Fatman,

    I will check my "events roster" at home and let you know. If my son's blues band is playing somewhere on that day I'll have to support him as his 'roadie' since he doesn't have his drivers license yet.

    This sounds like a good ride--quick and dirty, there and back.

    I live in the LV so good to know there's another member fairly close. We used to have a bloke by the name of Daniel from Bairnsdale on the board but I haven't heard from him for a while. Daniel are you still here???

    More later on this when I have the schedule in hand.

    I hate to say it ireland, but you missed a good ride. (I hope the night before was worth it?) . Will leave report to 2evo as he has the pics, including some great ones of Rod & Custom meeting at Burniyong (I hope thats the correct spelling) where we stopped for lunch. I know you mightn't beleive this, but it was bright sunshine & "Hot" at Ballarat. Also, met another Forum member. Great day but got very windy towards Gippsland on the way back.

    Ok--here is the attempt to put in the pix.... after we left Ballarat we went to Buninyong for lunch and rode back via Geelong. There was a show and shine happening there so after lunch we walked over.

     
    Thanks to Fatman for organising the ride--

     Was looking forward to someone posting some pics as I missed out on the ride - if it helps at all I only use webshots.com - very easy to post & link to your topic - has never let me down yet.

    I don't know what happened-- when I linked them through Photobucket I could see them in this topic form my PC.... I have now compressed the photos and will try to re-post later-- may be a day or two. I can't see any pics from anyone here due to the company's server blocking pix.....

    Glenpick-- thanks for the tip re "webshots.com". Will try P-bucket one more time before changing hosts....

    cheers,

     This was my first time riding in a group. Found it a bit different at first but soon got the hang of it. Better still, the navigator enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next one.

    Here's a couple of the pics I took.

    Not sure if you guys seen a couple of people up on the bridge at Bacchus Marsh, Yes that was me,Just taking a couple of shots and a bit of filming also, I think the numbers were down this year not sure on the reason but hey who gives a shit, sounds like ya had a good run and thats the main thing.

    Hey Finny...the reason the Nos were down this year was that the Guy that usually does the "Flyers & Advertising", had a heart attack & carked it (RIP). By the time everything was organised, & the flyers sent out, it was too late for a lot of the various groups to organise the ride. Next year the ride will be back to normal, plus the Eureka Stockade renovations will be completed by then, & the ceremony will be held inside. (as told by Turk, aka Mike, who led the ride.)....cheers guys....are you going to post the pics?
