The rally is exclusive to Girder Fork motorbikes manufactured prior to 1950 and the prime attraction for entrants is riding the scenic sealed roads of the Snowy Monaro region.

The oldest entry is a 1914 Douglas entered by Kevin Boardmen and eight BSAs ranging from a 1929 BSA Sloper through to a 1948 BSA M21.

There are also four Rudge motorcycles entered that will appeal to motorbike racing enthusiasts. 

Rudge Whitworth Cycles was a British bicycle, bicycle saddle, motorcycle and sports car wheel manufacturer that resulted from the merger of two bicycle manufacturers in 1894. 

Rudge motorcycles were produced from 1911 to 1946, and the firm was known for its innovations in engine and transmission design, and its racing successes. Their sales motto was "Rudge it, do not trudge it." 

The company also produced the first detachable wire wheel in 1907, and was known for its knockoff wheels for sports cars including Jaguars; that brand continued well into the 1960s.

Registration is on Friday afternoon and there will be a short ‘shake down’ run on Friday afternoon for early arrivers. 

Saturday’s routes comprise a morning run from the Car Club clubhouse via Bobundra/Dalgety to Berridale for morning tea and returning via Middlingbank and Slack’s Creek Road for lunch at the clubhouse.

The afternoon run is from the clubhouse to the Countegany turnoff and return.  

On Sunday morning there is a run from the clubhouse to Adaminaby and return.  

The event is also renowned for its social aspect which this year will include an excellent morning tea at Berridale, followed by lunch and dinner on Saturday night at the Cooma Car Club Clubhouse; all providing opportunities for the historic bike enthusiasts to get together and talk about their machines and the day’s adventures.
