 In view of the weather forecast seven stalwarts and Jack Youdan as Back up trailer were present at the Shell Servo adjacent to the “Apple Peel” in Templestowe. All welcomed guest rider Phil Pegg on his new Suzuki Boulevard
The weather at this point was threatening but not storming as we set off at 9:30 behind our leader Richard Haughton. The route took us to Warrandyte, Kangaroo Ground then over the Christmas Hills Road to the Melba. There were two official Traffic Revenue officials along the road that were well announced by the oncoming traffic but we were riding at a reasonable pace so it was not a worry.

Five club members met at the Shell servo at the Plus Petrol servo in Diamond Creek Road Greensborough all well on time and  ready to go. As on all Eddie’s rides we left on the button at 9 and headed down through Diamond Creek, Hurstbridge and St Andrews before the very winding climb up to Kinglake. The road surface on this very winding hill climb has now been improved and makes spirited bike riding a more pleasant affair. However still no safety barriers except for a narrow straight section near the top.
Once when riding up this
road I was confronted head on by a rather large Harley rider who veered
from his side of the road on a really tight left-hander. The only
option I had was to dodge blindly over to the wrong side while fully
expecting to meet another Harley head on as they usually ride in
groups. Luckily he was on his own, the road was clear and I was able
to quickly get back to the left. As for the wobbly Harley rider I just
got a rear view mirror glance of him recovering from going over the
unguarded edge of an almost sheer drop by about nats leg. Happy days!
