This thread is more so to see if anyone is keen than to actually organise it.
Anyone keen on a 1770 weekend? If we could organise it on one of jimmy's weekends off we could all catch up with him and others in the area.
Food for thought.

I still go up occasionally.
I was there 2 weeks a go.
Mango tree motel.
Pub up the hill still does a good feed.
Depends when? Would like to come but will depend on NFR
Depending on timing I'd love to be there.
I'm probably up there again on a ride in Nov,
not sure on dates yet but it won't clash with
the Schoolies week this time !
I'd be keen.
id be keen
Count me in. Wont be heading to WA again until next year.
Ok then a few questions,
1. When would people be up for this ? December ? January ? February ?
2. When will you be free Jim ?
3. Tony, or anyone else that has been there recently wheres the best place for accommodation, meals etc ?
ASF have done a couple of runs up there.
The Mango Tree Motel is OK, a bit "budget"
but was better and cheaper than the two I used
in Ayr and Mackay the same long weekend.
Short walk to the beach and shops.
Again, on past runs we have always walked / got taxi's
up the hill to the pub. Good food, and stumbled back to
the motel after.
Mango tree has undercover bike parking (once you move
the chairs outside your room) lots of other places to stay
mostly nicer but more expensive. I stayed on the road out to
1770 with a heap of the Gladstone members and it was bit more
upmarket, spa / underground parking / gated complex etc,
but not cheap.
Check when schoolies is?
They aren't a drama but in the past its made it a
pain to book a room.

Paris / London in Jan and Feb.

Ok how does the 29th of November to the 1st of December suit people ? From what I can tell schoolies is the following weekend....

So are we booking our own rooms or what ?
Sounds tops. I should hopefully have my shit sorted by then. Book your own I reckon.
I'll know better closer to the dates but I'm def keen
I can do that weekend.
Definitely can NOT do the two after.
happy to book my own if everyone is OK with that date?
Wont know till the end of the month.
I'm planning a run up North,
Is anyone keen on this one or not?
Im just waiting on a few things tony. Im keen to go just have to wait a week or two
If my hours at work don't pick up I'm out.......
Waiting for the bank to sort it's shit out for my house. Then I'll know for sure. I'm hoping it'll be this week or next at the latest.
I'm working on trying to get kels on back of my bike for this one. Will confirm closer to the date
What's the usual route for the trip up?
I go over Mt Mee, Malaney, Kennilworth, Gympie,
up the Bruce and off at Bundy and up the coast road
missing out Mirium Vale. Some good bits,
some boring. Might look at a longer "no highway" route.
Brissy up the highway is just under 500
but it normally takes me about 650 via Malaney.
.... last time i went it was around 2100k's to the pub via an overnighter in Ayr,
then another 600k's home the next day.
Airley Beach looked entertaining when I called in,
maybe I should have stopped of there too.
Fuck Tony, 2100ks in 2 days is some serious riding, did those sort of k's through Europe on the motorways, and they moved a lot faster than the roads over here, that was more than enough saddle time for me, and I was a lot younger then.Quote:

YOu gonna head up Ozzy?
depends on work bob or if I feel like leaving my hobbet hole lol
You need to get out Froddo! lol
Given the planned legislation changes, this will probably be deemed an illegal gathering or some shit.
I won't be in a group on 3 or more...unless you guys leave at 5am and think you can keep up for 500k's... LOL
