Im looking at making the cruise on the Monday 29th of December, as this seems to be the date most people here are free. Its also good in the sense that there will be less people going up to Mt Glorious.

Route will be something like this

http://www.whereis.com/?id=48CF8DAEE02E59

First Meeting point for northsiders will be the nudgee road Shell Petrol Station in Banyo. Meeting there at 9.45am and leaving there at 10.

Those coming from the south can either go to the Shell petrol station or have a meet up point elsewhere and we can all meet up at the second meeting point.

Second meeting point is the BP on Waterworks Road at around 11 to give everyone a chance to refuel and those from the southside to meet up. We will leave here around 11.15.

Then leave here after 11.15 and go to maiala recreation area for a bbq lunch.

Can I have an indication of who is coming so I can bring some food for the bbq.

So far its:

Woody
Redzone
Sargent Khan
GroupAralliart - Maybe


What to bring -
bring your own drinks, but i'll provide the bbq food.
sensible hat as the roads are winding and steep you need to be careful.

I also highly recommend you check your pads before going and change them if necessary, the road is hard on brakes and the last thing you want to happen is brake fade.

Given that you're married then you will be doing whatever the missus tells you to do :P . Any preferences on dates?

Its only tentative at the moment, looking for which days people prefer, either 27th (Saturday) 28th (Sunday).

Route will be something like this

http://www.whereis.com/?id=48CF8DAEE02E59

I'll be looking at meeting at shell around 9.30 leaving at 10, and meeting at the BP on waterworks road around 10.45, gives people a chance to fill up and catch up.

Then leave here after 11 and go to maiala recreation area for a bbq lunch.
