Snowman Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Ok, The next cruise is planned for Saturday April 24th. But seeming as though there are so many destination options we thought we'd give everyone a chance to vote for where they like to cruise to next. 1. Macedon Ranges - Hanging Rock. There are some nice easy twisties in and around Woodend, Lancefield, Kyneton, as well as some FWY cruising. And Hanging Rock has a great carpark for photo's etc. 2. Warburton - Reefton Spur. Good set of regular twisties going through the dandenongs, c0ckatoo, along the reefton spur - then from Warburton we have the option of travelling through Mt Donabuang etc. Long driving day. 3. Peninsular - Portsea Pub. Again a nice cruise down with a good mix of twistes through places such as Arthurs Seat, Red Hill, plus some nice stopping points like the Portsea Pub for lunch if desired and Point Leo for photo's. 4. The Moon. Requires Special means of transport. Very long cruise. :ufo: Chances are we will do all these cruises at some stage this year. But if you have a preference for the next destination speak up! The desitnation will be decided by April 8th.

THE OAK - I'd say both the Macedon Ranges and the Peninsular are roughly an hour and a half from the city. Both cruises involve going to a certain area and then kinda driving around in circles for a while on all the fun roads (if that makes sense) - as oposed to say the GOR which is just a long drive there and back. Warburton is probably an even longer days drive than GOR if you do the mountains as well. But the beauty of both the Macedon and Penisular cruises is that you can decide on the length of driving based upon conditions as the time gets closer. But because of their proximity to the cbd we can probably have more stops between runs rather than 4hrs of continuous driving followed by an extended break. Hope that helps.

Frunknmont Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Just wondering, are the cruises open to anybody? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36978-april-24th-next-big-cruise/#findComment-738876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Its open to anyone who enjoys a spirited drive, but does not need to rip burnouts or attract the wrong attention. So in other words if you can behave, yes. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36978-april-24th-next-big-cruise/#findComment-738991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Just wondering, are the cruises open to anybody? Open to anyone that wants to come along mate. More the merrier! OAK - We can put a rough 'total' KM's travelled, does that help you out? ie, i'll set my trip meter from my door step and check it on return? But that is only once we decide on a route... as we aint actually 'planned' this yet. So it's hard to say. That would probably be all that we could offer. Otherwise we are just going to spend too much time organising each cruise (on a chance we might not even do it)... hence there will be less time for us to organise more cruises for all you boys.
