Melbourne Cruise - Sunday 26th July

Alright, I plan on having this one done right this time. (Including me making it there!)

Here are the details so far (subject to change):

Date: Sunday 26th July, 2009
Meet Location: BMW Body Shop, 770 Lorimer St, Port Melbourne 3207
Meet Time: 10.00am
Depart: 10.45am
Cruise Route: Suggestions Welcome
Stops On the Way: Suggestions Welcome

Maps of route and stopping locations will be provided on day along with my number. I suggest that maybe other people exchange numbers, just in case.

Rules:

Last time i didnt think it was necessary to point out the obvious, but i will this time!!!

1. Strictly NO STUPID BEHAVIOR (ie illegal)

-No running red lights Full Stop!....even if its amber (unless your going to cause an accident by not going through the amber light.....dont do it)

2. Drive the speed limits! (Or slightly under)

-It's not a race! its supposed to be a nice relaxed drive, so take it slow.

3. If you get split up from the group or if the group splits up from you, either pull over and wait (if you are ahead) or call someone.

-If you are pulling away from others, slow down a bit to let them catch up.

I think that these rules are quite fair, if you dont like them or wont respect them, then dont come. If anyone else has anything to add...please do so!

What to bring:

Full tank of fuel
CB Radio/walkie talkie
Camera


Everyone welcome, as long as they can follow the rules!

Yeah Mt Dandenong sounds good.

Does anyone know of any good stops along the way?

Im thinking maybe the Burvale Hotel...pretty sure there is a fairly big carpark there.

good thing when planning a route is to pick one with the following

- less traffic and lights
- 2 lane roads
- most direct route with less turns

i.e. Beach road - nepean hwy - cheltenham rd/stud road - burwood hwy

Plenty of safe places to stop along the way for people to catch up etc (beach carpark - Bunnings - Mcdonalds)

i work off Toorak road and unless its 3am you will never get 5+ cars to stay together with the traffic/lights to work in your favor..

my 2 cents

Post has been made on Eurocca.

Very valid points Nath...will definitively keep in mind when drawing up the route.

Common guys we need to organise the route, if we can avoid the city traffic that would be good, may detour around...

i will take a look and keep use informed
