Pinch and a punch and hopefully waking up not too dusty from the meet and greet – time to get the trusty steeds ready and out for todays ride out 10am departure sharp!
The first ride out will take us out of the coastal region and up into the hinterland via some of the oldest townships on the sunny coast passing through Eudlo & Mooloolah Valley then up to the Blackall range where you’ll get stunning views of the coast on your right hand side the majority of the ride. Passing through Montville, Flaxton and Mapleton before carrying on to Gerrards lookout for a quick break and photo or two – Pit stop complete, it’s then time to make it down the range to Ricks Garage in Palmwoods, a diner that has become an institution on the Sunshine coast for vehicle enthusiasts of all types, this will be their first vintage scooters on mass turn out, so the team at Ricks are really looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about and looking after us
Lunchtime here -dig in from the excellent menu or just chill out with a beer or two -we’ll be here for about 2 hours before the final part of the ride back into Mooloolaba with a 3pm eta.

All being well you should have a good few hours back at digs to fettle those scoots, start sinking those beers and getting ready for the evenings entertainment at The Wharf.

‘Please take note in this area there will be separate areas clearly marked for certain categories of scooter, it would be appreciated if you could park in the designated area in reverse’
Its lunchtime now so find your self a spot to eat in the many cafe’s/restaurants and bars along the waterfront – we’ll leave the scoots here for the afternoon for the public to admire.

SUNDAY 3RD NOVEMBER
DEEP INTO BANJO COUNTRY RUN Make sure you’re in for this ride as its cracker , we’ll be heading out of the coast and up into the hinterland deep into hillbilly country, through tin pot towns and lovely countryside hitting the odd dirt road to get to a nice little country town called Kenilworth, stopping here for an hour or two – there’s a good old Queenslander pub, and a few cafes along the main road, including Kenilworth cheese factory.
– BUT one you shouldn’t miss is the bakery – known for its Doughnuts – a range that’ll make you fill your Helmet with saliva just thinking about them! if you’ve got a serious sweet tooth you can do the 1kg doughnut challenge!
There’s fuel here so fill up before the journey home down the range and back to Mooloolabah again with a 3pm eta.
