When deciding on a destination for a National Rally, consideration was given to the following major factors;
Bright ticked all the boxes for our selection criteria. Late spring is a wonderful time in the Ovens Valley, tucked up under the High Country. After the football season (whichever code) and before Christmas rush and school holidays. Mid November was an obvious choice.
To date, the organizing sub-committee has been hard at it with a lot of arrangements already in place. We have secured firm accommodation options and have planned out many rides, which will be offered as options, both on and off road. The traditional Rally Dinner will be held on Saturday evening and Sunday evening will see an adventure film night offered. In addition, for a limited number (based on first registered, best dressed), there will be an ‘off road training’ course offered on Saturday morning for those who wish to brush up on their skills. Part of this training will be an afternoon GS ride on dirt roads where the professional trainers will ride with the trainees and help fine-tune their techniques.
The main function of this early notice is to encourage those of you who need time to plan your workplace around dates, to plan for the rally time frame. It is an “All weekend program”. Registration is in Bright from Friday afternoon (11th. Nov.) to and including breakfast on Monday morning (14th. Nov).
