Details Update 26 April.
I did a reconnaissance today.  It is 80 km to the morning tea stop at Bunyip and I'd estimate arriving there  about 11.10 AM +/- for info of those electing to meet us at Bunyip for morning break  
It is then 100 km to Wonthaggi and I will be using the Bunerong Coastal Route and intend stop near Eagles Nest for a short break
Lunch is planned for the Wonthaggi Workmen's Club which has a variety of meals plus some table snacks etc It is Licensed   
 I was also happy with the planned return route via the Gippsland Hills and Kernot before joining the Bass Coast Highway at The Gurdies.  Farewells can then occur at Tooradin or Officer.  

Cheers

Due to the forecast of "biblical quantities" of rain, plus thunder and lightning etc  on 5 May, I have postponed this ride for a week  

I intend to explore via Nutfield & Arthurs Creek to Toorourrong Reservoir for a rest break -  Bring hot flask & snack, 
then explore as far as Yea and stop at the old station on the bike / rail trail for a casual picnic style lunch.  
If this works I hope to make it a Sunday ride in the near future.
Please let me know if you intend to come along.         

Make your own way 
The May VBC will be at the Jolly Miller Café, 29 Brantome St., Gisborne. This is the meeting place of the Macedon Ranges Branch.
If the Jolly Miller becomes too busy there are several other cafes nearby so plenty of room for everyone.

Things were a bit quiet in April with people still recovering from the Warwick Trip and the travails caused by that damn virus so come along and catch up now.
