Hey Guys, just wondering if the run to 1770 is going to happen again this year? I know it's early but i missed last years because of commitments, and have a few local blokes here keen as for the run. Especially since we also missed the AFR this year. No rush, just wanted plenty of notice so we can organise ourselves, cos going by the threads on the last few years, it looks like an awesome run.
cheers

We were talking about this over the weekend and Terry (Mr.Hyosung) may have a new idea which gives both parties a decent ride instead of a one sided event. I'll see if I can't get him to remind us what he said....
Im keen depending whenb it is.

What about Hervey Bay???
It would be about 1/2 way from both spots then???
I'll be up for Harvey Bay.Thats like a 3.5 hour ride from Brizzy.
I did a re-con run up there earlier this year for this plenty of places to stay

Funny thing you starting this thread drewboy because there was talk of going to Hervey Bay for a ride because 1770 is too far for an overnighter for the southern boys and too close for the Gladstone boys. The last time I talked to Tony Nitrous he was still keen for a 1770 run so it may be still on but I don't known when, last year was November I think. If we do go to Hervey Bay would you local blokes be interested in meeting us a couple of hundred k's from there and leading us in on some choice back roads? As for setting a date I'm keen for a mid August or mid September ride so it isn't too close to the 1770 run, Aug21,22 being my choice. Queensland school hols start 17 Sept which will make accomm dearer. If anyone has any ideas don't be shy.
Terry I've got some prices and photos, options, etc somewhere and even the best place to have brekky on the beach I'll go looking for them if anyone's interested ?

Ha Ha! Funny that i asked about the run alright, we live in Hervey Bay!!
But that's not a problem for us, cos there's heaps of nice places to stay here! Plus, cos we won't get much of a ride cos we live here, we could meet all the southern guys at the Ettamogah Pub, and ride north through the sunny coast hinterland, and out through Kenilworth, and carve up some of the roads we like to ride. Then on the next day we can do a short ride north to Childers where our favorite run is out to Paradise Dam and back to Childers. Sounds like a plan!!

But even if we still end up going to 1770, we'll be just as keen! plus we can still do Paradise Dam on the way to 1770, cos it's not too far out of the way.

We'd be keen again. I can probably only do mid Sep and from mid Nov on to fit in with work and study commitments so if it ends up being around then count us in!
Was thinking about heading Hervey Bay way with the mrs sometime in the next couple of weeks on our bikes actually.

Yeah, Hervey Bay sounds good. I might be able to rangle in v8er and one of the other toowoomba boys to come along.
I'm in assuming the time and money karma is right.

There's heaps of places here to stay, i'm happy to help but it depends on how much people want to spend. there's Motor Inn's, Resorts, caravan park cabins, so it depends on what everyone wants.
cheers
So long as it has a bed and shower and close (stumbling distance) to pub.

Might be able to organise a Toowoomba group ride then. See what we can organise closer to the date.
I'd be keen for one in August and November. Dates depending.
Have we got a date for 1770 yet? Keen to go.

harvey bay was fun would be keen for it again and we could always do a day ride to somewhere from there just make it a two night stay or pick some other bits of tarmac to travel im looking at a tenterfield texas run in near future down through mountains and back up via some coast but 1770 is a bit farfor me overnight

Done a few runs to Tenterfield recently.
Yatala, Beaudesert, Rathdowny, Kyogle, Casino, Tenterfield and
back the same way sometimes using Lion's Rd or a detour.
Its only 760k round trip from Brissy. An easy lazy day ride.
1770 / Agnes Waters is between 550 and 650 each way depending on the route.
Im normaly there before lunch, so im playing with the idea of
not sleeping over, just a "Spirited" ride there and back.
1100 to 1300k's should be do-able now its warmer / more daylight.
Could be keen, would be a big days ride. I think Loz and I would most likely crash up there the night.

yeah i would want to crash overnight as well its a nice place some old pubs and older hotels. The last place i stayed down there in had a giant room with a fireplace that took up the whole wall with two full size billard tables and a chandeleir hanging over them. couple stiff drinks an it was great
