N/A
December 18, 2025

This will be the final ride for 2025 and it will also be the most important ride for the year. This year, due to popular demand, the start time has been put back one hour to 9 am (NOT 8 am as it says on the calendar).

After assembling in the car park all riders will ride in the Lilydale direction, with each rider free to choose how far they wish to ride. After riding the trail we all meet at the Carriage Cafe in Seville at 11am for morning tea/lunch. This will also be a special Christmas and end of year celebration. The highlight will be the announcement of the next King or Queen of the Ghostriders. The recipient will be presented with the impressive trophy and crown.

Whether you ride with us every week, or only a couple of times a year (or even if you have never ridden with us, but are interested in what we do), you are invited to come and share the fun with us. Non riders can just make their way directly to the Carriage Cafe and meet us there at 11am .
