    Amber mentioned that if we speak with Tim, the hotel manager, and if we have enough numbers for the night, we can book the beer garden as a function room if we want.
    Yeah that would be an awesome idea it's out the back and private from other patrons!

    Righto Boys and Girls, here's the drum. I've checked Google Maps and it tells me that from the Gold Coast to Hervey Bay is 400k's and 6 hours at softcock speed. If it suits the boys from Hervey Bay we will meet at Landsborough P.O. at about 10.30 for the ride north. I personally will be travelling at the above mentioned speed as I am not rich enough to be paying any fines, so if anyone is worried about being left behind , don't be. The boys who ride with me regularly know that I am a very sedate rider and never speed. If anyone wants to travel at 200k's an hour the whole way, you go right ahead. I am definitly NOT the ride leader, just the ride organiser. All going well we should be in HB mid arvo where we can tell each other over a few beers how many corners we scraped the heronobs on. I would rather not have the beer garden to ourselves. I like being in the main area of the pub where we can mingle with the locals, play a bit of pool, and maybe pull a stray root. So for all the southeners, Landborough P.O. at 10.30

    I'm happy to lead, if noone else wants to, or doesn't know where we are going. I'm happy with the meeting spot in Landsborough, what are peoples thoughts on the route i posted on the map above?? We can just as easy go up the highway if that is prefered.

    I don't ride at warp speed, but call me a loser- when the road gets a bit twisty i tend to creep up to around 130 in places, but when we normally ride in a group we tend to ride majority of the time around 100-110, stopping at intersections so noone is left behind. This way everyone can ride at their desired pace and doesn't miss a turn or exit.

    All that sounds just dandy drewboy, including the speeds you mentioned. The route you posted is just fine. It's the same way we went to 1770 last year. We only travel highways when we really, really have to. The only reason I mentioned the ride leaders' spot is that I lead for 90% of the way last year, but this year everyone should have all there points back so I plan on being down the pack a bit.

    That's good you went that way last time, it should be fairly familiar to everyone. The best thing about that run(sunny coast to the bay) when you stay off the highway, you almost never see the boys on blue. All the times we've done that run we've never seen any, apart from around Gympie, but we never speed there.

    Not sure yet how many bikes i'll have coming down for the ride back to the Bay, so far they'll definately be at least 2 bikes, but there'll be a few guys coming to the pub when we get back here. should be awesome.

    Sound good to me also, it's just down the road from Landsborough, and it is an awesome piece of road.

    Specific times are yet to be decided but i'm hoping around 9am-10am, cos us Hervey bay guys need to ride down early. It depends on what time the brissy/goldcoast guys want to leave.

    Puppet, of course you can come on a KTM! all bikes welcome, you can ride a honda postie if you want, might have trouble keeping up though! see you there.

    Davo on a Deadcat, Puppet on a KTM, what is the world coming to. I assume, Puppet, that there are no fairings on this KTM. As long as it does stoppies and monos as good as the Zook who cares what you ride. In a previous posting I mentioned meeting at Landsborough at 10.30. Drewboy, would you be able to call past there at this time to see if anyone is there before coming down to Beerwah to meet the rest. Me and a couple of the boys will be at Beerwah as it's a waste of time going to Landsborough then back down to Beerwah.. We will be there at 10.30. That should give the Gold Coast/Toowoomba/Ipswich boys plenty of time to get there.
