65th Anniversary Ride. VVMCCSA will have a 1 day ride 4th October 2021 – at Mannum, this is our day ride during the Festival of Motorcycling week events.

Southern Rally – 16th May 2021, 10.30a.m. The Southern Rally on the 16th May 2021 covers some routes we haven’t taken for a few years – starting in McLaren Vale, riding along the coast, lunching at Meadows and returning to McLaren Vale in the afternoon.
The rally begins at Oxenberry Winery on Kangarilla Road, McLaren Vale. Oxenberry is a popular tourist destination so members should leave cars and trailers on the west side of the carpark. We depart Oxenberry and head to Willunga where we take Aldinga Road to the esplanade at Aldinga Beach. We follow the eplanade to the Aldinga Beach carpark where we have our first regroup. We then continue on the lower esplanade until we reach the end and eventually join the Main South Road for our ride around the hills face. Look out for the giant Buddha statue and the stunning view of the coastline.
Before entering Myponga we turn right onto Reservoir Road and make our way over the dam wall at the Myponga Reservoir and thence to Carrickalinga Beach and Normanville. At Normanville Beach we stop in the carpark for our second regroup. We continue on from Normanville climbing back into the hills at Yankalilla and make our way to Myponga for morning coffee. Myponga has a range of shops and conveniences and we plan to spend about 30 minutes there.
Leaving Myponga we take Pages Flat Road (yes, a little bumpy for the rigids) for its full length when we join Victor Harbor Road for about 1km after which we join Brookman Road for a ride through the forest to Meadows. We will stop at Meadows for about one hour for lunch. There is a bakery and an excellent pie shop in the main street.
Departing Meadows we head to Kangarilla and back to McLaren Vale via McLaren Flat.
Total rally distance is 133km.
Please note veterans should consider if the route is suitable as it includes highway sections, steep gradients and a couple of equally steep descents. An alternative route for veterans and small capacity machines is to ride direct to Meadows and meet us for lunch between 12.30 and 1.00pm.
As always I will be looking for marshals and a volunteer for trailer duties. Please speak to Ian Hese or contact me on 0411 888 313.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday 16th May.

2021 National Veteran Motorcycle Rally
The Committee now invites you to submit your ENTRY (attached) and get ready to join in the fun.
All systems are go and planning continues for a five day hub rally based in the tall timber town of Manjimup, WA, from 17-22 OCT 2021.
The 2021 NVMR in Manjimup has a focus on the riding and camaraderie that goes hand in hand with a good day out on two wheels. The routes are all through hilly forested country (we don’t think they’re as big as the Tassie hills) and Lunch stops are in small country towns. Covid 19 has affected our planning for meal venues in particular so ther will be three lunch stops where you will take your pick of local eateries and buy you own lunch.
Hopefully by now you have chosen your accommodation, but we do ask that you let us know here you will be staying and get your booking confirmed soon. The Rally HQ will be at the Tigers Football Club on the edge of Manjimup which offers us some excellent facilities. There will be morning teas and evening meals available here as well as a bar open each evening, undercover areas, and a small workshop. On the Wednesday afternoon there will be a Swap Meet and some other activities to keep you busy at the clubrooms, so we hope you’ll join in.
This year the host club is the Indian Harley Club (Bunbury) Inc.. The IHC invites you to stay on and join in the celebration of their 50h Anniversary at a rally the following weekend 30-31 OCT in Bunbury, WA (approx.. 130km north of Manjimup)
