No entries will be accepted on the day, so don’t let this legendary weekend pass you by. Get those entry forms in ASAP!
Why You Can’t Miss the Butterball Rally
Picture this: a weekend packed with the rumble of bikes, the thrill of scenic rides, and the camaraderie of fellow motorcycle enthusiasts from the NSW Riverina, North East Victoria, and beyond. Whether you’re riding a vintage classic or a modern beast, the Butterball Rally—born at the Old Butter Factory in Springhurst—welcomes all makes, models, and eras. It’s a tradition steeped in good vibes, great rides, and epic memories.
Here’s what’s in store at the Wodonga Services Club (2 Havelock St, Wodonga VIC 3690):
Two Scenic Rides: Choose your adventure!
- Saturday Long Ride (201 km, 2 hours): Wodonga to Albury, Howlong, Corowa, Mulwala, Yarrawonga, Bundalong (with a stop at Peter Birthsell’s Indian collection), and a late lunch at Caffeine Machine in Rutherglen.
- Saturday Short Ride (104 km, 79 minutes): Albury, Howlong, Corowa, across the Murray River at John Ford Bridge, then to Rutherglen for refreshments.
- Sunday Ride (75 km, 1 hr 10 min): A stunning ride to Tallangatta via Bethanga, Talgarno, and Georges Creek for the Car and Bike Show at Tallangatta Showgrounds.
- Show and Shines: Strut your stuff with your pride and joy on both Saturday and Sunday. Will you take home a Best of Bike trophy like Sean Crosthwaite’s 1945 Harley Davidson Panhead did in 2024?
- Saturday Night Shenanigans: Kick back with a delicious dinner, drinks, trivia night, and awards at the Wodonga Services Club. Expect laughter, prizes, and maybe a few tall tales from the road.
