Mt Marshall Show: 9th March

Post by Cookie »

I will lead a dirt / sealed road ride out to the Mt Marshall Show, meet at Bindoon Bakehaus, Saturday 9th March, at 8am for an 8.30am departure. We will wind our way across the wheatbelt on back roads, sealed and unsealed, suitable for most skill levels and end up at Bencubbin mid afternoon.

There will be limited fuel and food along the way, so come prepared for ~300km stretch between fuel stops, please bring water, snacks and lunch for roadside stops.

We pay an entry fee to enter the showgrounds, which covers camping on the oval, access to showers and toilets.

Food / drink vans, live music and a fireworks display after sunset provide entertainment and make this a very relaxed event.

Sunday morning we assemble at the local cafe for breakfast around 7.30am, before making our way back to metro by mid afternoon.

Our presence helps boost the local economy and support fellow motorcycle riders in the region, the President of the Show committee is a BMW rider :)


Note: If someone would like to organise a black top / sealed road ride, let me know and I will post details for you.

Numbers are ticking along nicely, join in for either a dirt ride, or sealed road ride, combined with 1 night camping on mown grass with toilets, showers live music, fireworks and food available - camping doesn't get much easier than this :)

One of the Geraldton guys has pulled out due to medical issues, he had a reservation in one of the Caravan Donger rooms at Bencubbine, if anyone is interested in taking the booking, ring Graham Beckman 0408 698 006 to organise.

Weather is looking good for the weekend, see you tomorrow at Bindoon.

Several riders may come to Dowerin area, then turn and head back to metro, as they have commitments on Sunday.
