Quick words of caution.
The road upto Kinglake is popular with cyclists, very narrow and super twistie. Be patient and courtious. The road between Toolangi and Healesville is popular with motorbikes and packed with high speed twisties. Some of the corners have interesting off-camber and tightening radius treatments. Be safe, be courtious and if the car behind you wants to go faster than you feel comfortable at then let them past where safe. Also if the car in front is slowing you down don't push them hard, they may be better behind you watching your line. We won't leave anyone behind even if we have to stop and let you catch up.

We'll be in an unfamiliar car on unfamiliar roads so chances are we will be going a bit slower than the locals.
I certainly appreciate that if we are slow that you'll all wait for us Cheers! |

I may be late, I may be in the Demio...
The Astina's camber alignment has become unstable and needs to be looked at. If I can fix it easily or even make it stable then I will be there on time. If it's a bigger job then I may need to break out the Demio. It's been that kinda week.

Well thank you to Cosmo for arranging our Cruise through the wild regions of the City, surrounds and food. You wear many hats and wear them well!
As Kitty is saying "Best Breakfast in Melbourne" and I have to concur it definiately takes the points as best cruise breakfast..... Thanks also Rupewrect, Dogo it's always great to see you guys! Apologies to Boyd and Adam for not saying farewell - we had thought you guys were running with us or meeting up with us later and we hadn't realised . Kitty wishes she had a chance to spend a bit more time with you guys... Oh and yes I made it back to the hotel this morning with only one extra "blockie" completed. Starting to work out that this place is technically a grid with lots of 'wiggles" to avoid those silly tin trains that run around. Hook-turns - WTF! Ohhh and if anyone is consider staying at the Crowne Plaza, think $0.55/min for the Internet! *gasp* A.
