It's looking like we'll have good numbers attending, I better pack my wide-angle lens for the group pic.

Also, looks like 10 ST's. I hope we can all get them lined-up for a pic too!

Left home on time, waited or any stragglers at St Helena (none turned-up), headed for BP/McDonalds near Calder Park to find Denis and Diane waiting for us, then followed the GPS only to find a gravel road after 400m, U-turned and headed via Diggers Rest.

Arrived Blackwood to find the café is now a boutique, but $10 for a mug of skinny cappuccino and a pot-of-tea was reasonable.  No other stragglers, so back on bikes and on to Dunolly via Trentham, Bullarto, Lionsville, Musk, Daylesford, Franklinford, Newstead, Carisbroook, and a few small towns / localities (all with names board and signs, need to go back for a few pics to top Mr Biggles).

Denis and Diane, and Helen and I arrived Dunolly to have Debbie waving madly to make sure we didn't pass the pub.  Other earlier arrivals were Rex (Debbie had to get there somehow), Danny and MickS. 

Others, jt8277, ppopeye, Jd and Chippy, Neil and Val turned-up, and after a few pleasantries we all ventured to the Railway Hotel dining room and table by table we extended the 12 seat arrangement to accommodate a larger number.

It wasn't long until Richard and Ella joined us, and then Marcus arrived to cheers and applause.

The following pics are Mick's, posted in full for your easy viewing.

It was around here that Nigel arrived to louder cheers and applause than Marcus.

After a very good meal, a few soft drinks and lots of talk we gathered outside for a few pics.

And here's another one with Nigel - the way he sees himself.

After a recount from yesterday, I reckon we had 18 (hope I haven't forgot anyone).

Thanks to everyone for making the effort on a 33C day (in Dunolly) and making the RTE one with the most number of VIC forum members since the 2014 NatRally - at least that I remember.

Great day, thanks for the ride. Tania drove me up to Maryborough so I could collect my bike, which was had been sitting in my old house's shed on a trickle charger since Christmas, It was a little worse for wear all covered in spider webs and dust. But the 15-minute ride to Dunolly was welcoming blowing all that off. After a good Lunch and chinwag, I headed back to my new home in Drysdale with Danny and MickS. Danny peeled off at Creswick, and MickS and Myself continued on, through Gordon, Ballan, through the Brisbane Ranges and into Geelong.

Great day, thanks to ppopeye + Williamson for organising. Glad someone remembered the Flag this time :D

Thanks to the organisers Mike & Gary for the Dunolly RTE. Weather & food excellent. And the bunch of posted photos too, young ‘everywhere man’ Nigel, he’s really getting moved around.!!!  Along with Debbie & Rex, Denis & Diane, Mike & Helen we came back thru Clunes, nice coffee and ice creams then via Creswick onto the Calder and into Melbourne. Picked up my Citroen on the way thru town & we were home in real good time.Den & Di stayed overnight & went on to Phillip Island yesterday in the high winds after some heavy morning showers.
All good.
Cheers
