Should be there for this one, depending on the weather.

Pete, maybe a shorter ride as backup if the weather is extreme?

Another Royal Hotel to add to the Royal Tour theme.  Pity I won't be able to make though.

I agree.    Have a think about a "Plan B".   Perhaps Cafe de Villis if the fiorecast is for something higher than 35 degrees.

Mmmmm ..... if forecast max. temp is that high, I'd be suggesting Cafe de Shillas.

Julie and I hope to be there, in fact we're looking at options to make it a 2 or 3 day ride.  If stinking hot I suspect we'll stay in the airconditioned comfort of home rather than put on all the clobber and head down to close to the city.

Cafe Del Vili's is set for the Not The RTE in March.

Charleston Hotel as a backup maybe?  Not a long ride

With a forecast of 38° for Saturday in Crystal Brook and no aircon on the ST's, in consultation with Pete, the RTE will now be a bit closer & cooler.

New venue is:

Macclesfield Hotel, Venables Street Macclesfield

Same time

Those interested:

Our intention was to head down to Point Turton for a couple of days after Crystal Brook so we will bow out of this RTE and head over a day earlier. Enjoy the lunch gents. Cheers Mark

I've only just noticed Stinky Pete hasn't put his name in the mix.  I was hoping to pick up the flag to take to Victoria the following weekend (and following month).

Anyway, I shall be there.

Chris and I can't make Macclesfield, but I can pass on the flag if it's convenient.

We'll see you next time.   I've arrived after taking the scenic route on roads the kwaka has never seen.   I don't know why but there's a flag at half mast here.
