This gives you about 6 weeks to get your wheels into shape!

Something a little longer this time. - About two hours out, lunch, then two hours back.

Ringwood -> Yarra Glen -> Kinglake -> Whittlesea -> Wallan -> Kilmore -> Lancefield (Lunch) -> Mt.Macedon -> Riddles Creek -> Sunbury -> Meadow Heights -> Research -> Ringwood.

All bitumen back roads - no gravel - no freeways - just nice pleasant cruising.

All comers welcome.

Because of the cooler weather, I thought we'd stop for lunch at the Lancefield Hotel (Sunday they do a Bistro) then we could move on when we're ready.

No timetable other than meet in Ringwood - Eastlands carpark (same starting point as last time) from about 9:45am - leave about 10:00am. - Return about 3:30 - 4:00ish?

Any takers ?

Carrys - Yes
Altos - Yes
Swift GTi's - Can they go that slow? :-o - Hell Yeah, bring it...

Hey Psi Man...

You could do your own little MB cruise - shoot straight up through Romsey - meet us for lunch at Lancefield, then cruise back through Macedon & peel off when we get to Sunbury if you like... :D
Or you could leave home about 8:00am and do the "last bit" first and meet us at Ringwood :-o

I've put a pic of the proposed route in my gallery for everyone's benefit...

Suzutey - Bendigo -> Kilmore (meet up with us) -> Lancefield (lunch) -> Woodend -> Back to Bendigo along the Calder... Too easy. I'd hope we'd be in Kilmore some time around 11:30am. If we knew you were coming and you weren't there, we'd wait for you.

sounds like a plan!

just a bit of info for you guys, between sunbury and bulla atm is some pretty major road works, Alot of mud/rocks etc on the road. so plan on gettin dirty if it rains!

Mt macedon will be fun for the f5a drivers! should be a good day though.

That would be right, a cruize coming up when my boy is off the road, again.... lol. I have 3 engines and none of them are working properly, 2 x F8b's & 1 x F5a!

I was planning on getting the block bored out & replacing the pistons & rings soon, but i dunno if i could get it done by the cruise. I don't suppose i could bring my ford along instead, just to finally meet a few of you in person?

Unless i can work a miracle & get the boy back on the road.....

Cheers
