[Guest]

hey guys just was wondering if anyone would be intersted in having a cruise down to the southen highlands dont no when as of yet but there are some great roads down here and great hill climbs and we could go to fitzroy falls for lunch and photos im shoure u will be uo for it DIMI cheers guys

Absolutely, count me in....... though parking at Fitzroy Falls will be a problem if we have more than 16cars (thats if the parking area is empty when we arrive) think Kangaroo Valley is a better option and more choices for lunch. Anyone want to suggest a centralised meeting place and route for the run???

Sounds good! Whereabouts is the southern highlands?

 

[Guest]

Ohh Yea count me in! us city slickers could all meet somewhere and
all cruse down together. Then meet up with David and Kat down south somewhere??

sounds like a good plan. i agree kangaroo valley has some nice spots to stop. Good old pub for lunch. plenty of windy loops to drive through- barrengary, cambewarra, berry, macquaries, jamberoo..... ooooo i am getting goose bumps.

can we start looking at dates??

my january is pretty chockers

3/4 is good - should all still be on holidays
18/19 is good

what do we think?

Cool! Southern Highlands is the way I go to my sis's place...well similar lol I go through Kiama, Berry, Nowra, Batemans to go to Narooma

I'm in. Our turn for us to cruise down to your area Dave
What day would this be on? Sunday would be sweet i reckon.

Working on ideas for challenging routes, combine a couple of hill climbs and some down hill twisty slaloms.

As for a date, like to steer clear of weekend 3-4th January, its double demerits till midnight on the 4th and there'll be plenty of blue operations going as they wind up the period...

18-19th works better and is less expensive on points in case any of us attract some unwanted attention............

Sounds good 18th is Sunday in Jan right? I'm already south syd it's only 45mins to the gong for me on a good run.

Yea looks good to me!!

 

[dimi_108]

Let's do this

 

[Kitty's VR4]

For those who haven't done a Macquarie Pass hill climb, here is a video of a quick run up the pass

The most amazing part of that video is the lack of logging trucks (I only watched 2 mins).

Lot's of bikers have been killer in mac pass... great road though! Mostly due to trucks not staying in their lanes. Good times!

So the 18th is locked in then?

 

[Kitty's VR4]

We'll wait on the general consensus, but i think so, not to many trucks on sundays, its more the stoopid sunday drivers that will be the problem.

 

[Kitty's VR4]

This is the proposed route
