On Saturday October 19 2024, Dead4eva Designs, Trust No One SMC and Phillip Island Toy Run will host The Phillip Island Community GP Run beginning at Caldermeade Farm and Cafe.

This ride is a replacement for the original Moto GP Ride that used to begin in Cranbourne, which ceased prior to Covid.

The ride will leave from Caldermeade Farm on the South Gippsland Highway, with stands up at 11am. It will continue along the highway through to Phillip Island with the option of heading off at the roundabout to the racetrack in time for the Moto3 qualifying.

Alternatively, riders are invited to make a day of it and head into Cowes.

Organisers said retailers, cafe owners, restaurateurs and publicans "have been allocated the lower half of Thompson Avenue early on to ease your belly or quench your thirst after the ride".

As this is a community and rider organised event, all riders ride at their own risk.

"Organisers, their partners, and heirs will not be held accountable or liable for any loss or injury incurred," said a ride spokesperson, who stressed the Moto GP Corporation and its affiliates are in no way associated with this event.

Everyone is welcome to join, but all bikes must be legal, roadworthy, registered and riders must have a valid licence.

The ride is free to enter, and no ride registration is required.

"We would just love your company and to go on a great ride," the spokesperson said.

"If people want to put various meeting points down before the actual one, please do not hesitate to do so and list them.

"We will be having assistance from Victoria Police, Eastern Region for traffic management."
