Do we have a route yet ?

i second that one... my missus is a bit nervous about coming coz all the talk about snow and dangerous curves etc....

if i can show her exactly where we are going then i might be able to convince her its cool.

There has been a route the whole time, i'm just waiting to get my hands on it. The bloke who normally organises our cruises (and organised this route) has been a bit under the weather and unable to get the route to me. I'm desperately trying to get it so i can test run it tomorrow!
There should be no reason for anyone to feel any reservations towards the cruise, under no circumstances will anyone be pushed to go at a level beyond where they feel comfortable and there will always be someone at the back to make sure no1 gets lost.
It's not a race, just a fun cruise out through the twisty roads

luckily it's got the warmest night all week, only going down to 6 in yarra glen so we should be pretty right

My confirmation

Just confirming I will be able to make it on Sunday. Looking forward to it, be nice to go on a long run.

[AstraOiler]

Awesome mate! I just got the route map now...it's going to be an absolute ripper!
I'm writing up full detailed instructions atm which i'll print off and bring to the cruise so everyone gets a copy, also going to test run the route tomorrow to work out any kinks, and i'm also going to print off a picture of the route for everyone as well. I won't post up the route here, but you will all get it in advance on the day. Just saves us from any unwanted attention

[Water Boy]
