Melb: Sat(10th)/Sun(11th) February RIDE!

Well there's been a fair bit of interest in a ride so i thought i'd get around to posting it up. The aim is to head out for a nice full day's worth of riding on either Saturday or Sunday; to be confirmed. So here's how it's going to work... if your interested then pick a day and pick a route from the ones below. Then we'll try and work it with everyone and get something happening.
At the moment i'm leaning towards a Sunday ride most likely for another 'Way Out East' Gippsland effort. It was a nice run last time and we've found some new roads since then. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

- Way Out East v2 (Korumburra, Leongatha, Poowong, and maybe up through the Noojee State Forest)
- Spurs Loop (King Lake, Chum Creek, Healesville, Black Spur, maybe Reefton)
- GOR (probably a little too touristy with the nice weather... but still an option)
- Other (any suggestions?)

The meeting point will be determined from the ride route and confirmed later on this week (probably Friday). This is an open for all ages/capacities ride although i'd encourage at least a moderate grasp of hills/twisty riding in order to not exhaust yourself.

 

Yeah, it's a nice run it just seems like im up there every weekend! I kinda like heading out away from the traffic, the people, the other riders, and especially the heavy police presence that's always around the spurs on weekends. BUT if the majority says spurs i'll do it. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

... and i'd LOVE to jump over to your side of the pond for a weekends riding but i think of got more chance of winning lotto at the moment. That said if i DO win lotto i'll be there! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

LOL, well actually... i was talking to the rider formally known as SOBIL and he's actually resurrected the FZR-fighter and might be coming along.

I can't take pics as the missus took my little P&S O.S and i've only got my DLSR with me! Hopefully someone else will have a camera otherwise it's mobile-phone-camera or nothing.

 

So the masses say Saturday... and my common sense is saying Saturday, so i'm thinking Saturday it shall be. As for the route, the Way Out East looks like its a goer but after talking with one of my mates (some may remember him as Tenoq on the ZX9R) we might be heading even further Way Out East than last time. We're gonna do a bit more planning though before releasing the final route.

At the moment it'll be a 9am meet from either Cranbourne or Rowville - yet to be decided due to the unfinalised route.

 

Ok, well the details for tomorrow will be finalised in about an hour or so... so if you check back at 9pm they'll be posted as final.
Anyone who's impatient or can't check back later you can call or txt me on [oh-four-oh-eight-one-oh-eight-five-one-one].

Cheers,
Jason.

 

Meet point: Cranbourne McDonalds
Time: 9am Meet, 9:15am Depart.
Route: Way Out West v2 extended... (we'll let everyone know tomorrow morning)

My mobile number's in the previous post so if you wanna write it down incase you can't find the meet point or incase you get lost... or something. Looks like a good day for it, so come along and enjoy yourself.

 

We are go for anyone who's checking last minute.
Cya all at Cranbourne Macca's.

 

Well it was a little wet but none the less we rode on through the sleet and fog to be greeted with some sunshine and dry enjoyable roads for the last... oooh, about 2 minutes. In the end it ended up as myself, SOBIL and my housemate.

I'm thinking i might do a mid-week Spurs ride if anyone's interested... perhaps Thursday?
