[VIC] Another pre national meet +/- Cruise?

Well some people still want another meet before the nats?

How about next Sat 15 Oct? I am avaiable in the afternoon.

Forget about Sunday, I am doing a 210km Around the Bay ride :shock:

For a good coffee, and see me carbo loading... :oops:

Venue need to be suggested..... :wink:

If everyone is busy, then it is ok.

Sorry, I wont be able to make this one. My car is spending the day in the shop. Brakes, all fluids and safety checks for the Nats. I'm getting excited!

How about Mornington... I don't want to see Mt. Martha if I don't have to .

I am riding Dockland - Queenscliff - Sorrento - Dockland (210km)

I get panic riding up Mt Martha (just pass Dromana), after 150km. Well maybe diff distance this time. Mornington bay side is nice too. please

Yep, Bayside's cool. If anyone else is up for it (hellooooo???) some pics of the cars by the sea somewhere would be good.

I am riding Dockland - Queenscliff - Sorrento - Dockland (210km)
Me too

I'm a maybe, but not down the peninsular. I'm more of a chance to make it if it's City or Docklands.

is this catching or what ?

I am doing the around the bay on the sunday as well. Next year we can make an RX8 team at this rate.
Saturday is a bike expo down at Docklands where I have to go to collect my "Free Bike" for the Great Victorian Bike Ride in November. Unfortunately I can't bring the RX8 as it wont fit the bike in.
If you want to meet around Docklands I can ride my new bike over to meet for coffee :D
I am going sorrento-queenscliff so if you see a yellow puffball with red face going the other way slowly GIVE ME A WAVE.

I have ridden both ways before and think Dromana first is much easier as long as the wind is with you going along the Geelong Road, any thoughts?

I always wants to go hard first, the long way first before ferry - this year it is about 100km after the ferry and it will be tough. The fact that I know the last 45km extremely well - from Frankston to City - so I know I will be ok when I get to Frankston.

Too bad we can ride together Gary.

We will get enough people to get a RX8club team next year :D with jersey? :D

I think the cruise is gettng harder and harder - I need to ride to Dockland for the jersey and ride number Saturday morning - so the morning will be busy :D.

Why don't we have a coffee at the dockland? It is for the other 2 nats comers to meet and greet.

I'm in a (work) team for ATB, so won't go to pick up things on Saturday (teams get jerseys/bibs issued together, so ours is being picked up on Wed).

I agree that the cruise is getting harder - maybe we should have a post-Nats one so those of us who couldn't make it to Wakefield get to hear about it all first-hand... plus I'll have my new wheels by then LOL

Fair better idea!

I think so...

That is a great idea. Any place that has food, comfy chairs, video and better - wide screen set up...

I can think of one place - Stu's place !!!
