The Canberra District Ducati Club Annual Eco-challenge
"The purpose of the event is for riders to measure their bikes’ fuel efficiency timed over a set course (of approx 70kms) under ‘normal’ riding conditions. Riders are tested against bikes of similar engine capacity or category (eg. Twin 600cc; off-road) and against the clock with the most efficient user of fuel and time the winner.
The club awards prizes for most efficient economy in a number of classes (see below) and we also give a prize for the least economical bike overall.
We encourage riders with all makes and models of bikes to join us in this fun social event."
Entry fee: $10 per solo rider or $15 for rider with pillion passenger

ACT and Districts 2008 Motorcyclist's Toy Run
Saturday, 13th December 2008
The Toy Run is a key feature on the ACT Motorcycling calendar andbrings together over 1,000 bikes and riders to raise funds, and provide toys and necessities for those less fortunate in the ACT Community. The Toy Run itself has been going for over 27 years and in that time has seen motorcyclists raise many tens of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts for Canberra's Charitable organisations to distribute to those less well off at this festive time of year.
Riders will gather at Old Parliament House adorning their bikes with toys and decorations, and dressing up to vie for prizes donated by Canberra's motorcycle dealers.
The ride itself is quite spectacular with over a 1000 bikes rolling down Adelaide Ave, around the Phillip roundabout before heading back into the City to gather in Garema Place to be addressed by invited guests and to present their gifts to the charity organisations. Spectators are welcomed and their support is rewarded by the sheer magnitude of seeing and hearing so many motorcycles rolling in procession. Spectators and those that wish to contribute to the event can see all the bikes roll into Garema Place at about 10:20 and participate in the activities at Garema Place.
Form Up: Breakfast including coffee will be available from 0830 to 0950 on the Saturday morning with a percentage of the profit going to the event.
Start Time: 10:00am sharp leaving Old Parliament House
Route: Adelaide Ave, Phillip Roundabout, Adelaide Ave, Commonwealth Ave, Northborne Ave, and into Garema Place
What to Bring: Cash is always good, Toys for ALL ages (kids do get older), non-perishable food.
Badges: Badges will be on sale at Old Parliament House and in Garema Place and help cover the cost of holding the event.
Prizes: Best dressed Bike, Best dressed Rider, Club with the Largest attendance, and maybe a few mystery ones on the day.
So come along, invite your friends, loved ones, and even your family. Spread the word across the community and make this the biggest and best Toy Run ever.
If you have any questions on the event please contact Malcolm 0439 303 106 or me 0419 866 126.
