Offical Cruise: 16.10.04 - Warburton

[Snowman]

Ok,

The club is up and running, the sun is out and shinning, so it's time to go on another big cruise. (About time!) :wassup:

The cruise will be on Saturday October 16, and we'll be heading up to Warburton. We still have to map the cruise out so once that has been done I will update this post with the final details.

But you can be sure in the tradition of our previous cruises we'll find you some fantastic roads to have some fun on.

Cruise Details

Meeting Place and Time.

Western End of the Upper Ferntree Gully Train Station Car Park.

Burwood Hwy.

Melways Reference: Map 74 F6.

10:30am with an expected departure time of 11:00am.

This cruise is fairly long - extremely twisty in places - and the road has some sections that are VERY narrow. Consequently we will be running it at a controlled safe speed. But this is probably one of the best scenery cruises we will do through Australia's tallest forest so we'll be asking everyone to back off, relax and enjoy the drive.

Please make sure that you have a FULL tank of fuel when you start. There is both Optimax and Ultimate available less that 500m from our starting point. The next available 98RON fuel will be an optimax that is about 180kms from the start of the cruise - and that is through very twisty conditions. Total distance of the cruise (back to Ferntree Gully) is about 250kms. Depending on how long we stop for lunch I expect to be back well before 5pm.

Members

All the members that come along - be sure to bring along your membership cards as we have the club stickers to hand out. They look fantastic.

If there are guys out there that haven't joined the club and wish too - we will have membership forms available on the day. Most of the cruises for next year will be for members only.

Can I ask.....

Will there be somewhere to have lunch and do "Non-Car-Stuff"

My much better half isn't really car mad but I would love her to come along........

[Snowman]

Of coarse there will be - we will be stopping for lunch at Marysville. We "may" have a nice property to use as a lunch stop - otherwise we'll be sitting down at the river in Warburton. If you've never been there before its a really awesome little town.

My wife loves it there!

We'll also be looking for a good "photo" place as well. Our cruises aren't driving all day.

this will be an offical cruise and as such im assuming this will be covered by cams? so if people have RP regos or CH they can bring them?

[inark]

i was finally coming back into form last year in my cricket... but it coinsided with too many cruises... needless to say i have my priorities in order

[Jetdat]

[PashaK]

i'll be there, last one i went to was macedon, was great fun

[abcent]

is it an "OFFICIAL MEMBERS ONLY" cruize? cauz I had a puncture on the day of the sign up meet

I'll be there, always enjoy a good SAU-vic cruize

[Snowman]

No abcent - this cruise will be open to everyone. Members only cruises will start in the new year. This will be a chance for those guys sitting on the fence on whether they want to sign up or not to come and check the club out. So if they like it they can sign up at the cruise.
