Ulysses Melbourne

NB Not the usual Officer Start Point 

Yes - you read correctly this is the 25th anniversary of annual autumn alpine run which started life as the “Autumn Ice Run in May 1998.

After experimenting with a traditional run in May 2021 (which was fun but ….), I decided to try and make it safer and give us more daylight by going at the end of March and before school holidays – Easter  etc.

Ride over Victoria's highest sealed road (Mt Hotham) cross the Tawonga Gap and stay overnight at Tawonga near Mt Beauty.

While keeping things very simple and traditional,

 I intend to vary the route a bit this year and head south of the highway to Sale for the morning refreshment stop.
 I have also discovered some quite interesting sealed side roads between Bruthen and Omeo so I plan on using those to avoid some of the bumps and roadworks presently on the Great Alpine Road.       
 
Everyone to arrange their own accommodation.
 I have booked accommodation at Mountain Creek Motel, Tawonga and plan to dine at their restaurant on the Saturday night.  They even have a drying room!
They have a fully licensed restaurant on site
