I thinking my chances of making in time are slim. I'm likely to stay another day/night here in Ballarat so I probably won't get there until Sunday late morning. Some might still be there, others I suspect I might be waving to as we pass.
If I don't make it, enjoy!

Oh, I was looking forward to listening to some stories.
I'll be leaving sunday morning and probably not long after sunrise... depending on what time I wake up.

Furk! It's raining, therefore it must be pouring. Heading to Great Ocean Rd with the intent of making lunch tomorrow... Stop for fuel, notice some scraping... 0 pads left. Now waiting on newies to be installed.
I just hope I haven't done a rotor.

Yeah, I’ve been getting storm warnings for the past hour! I passed a red 1300 at about 8:00 this morning heading west on the Geelong Hwy... then just saw a white 1100 at a garage in Essendon... anyone we know on their way down?

Hey Kev, I'm not interested in Geelong's weather today, I'm interested in:
   *   St Helena weather tomorrow at 9:00am
   *   Bacchus Marsh at 10:00am
   *   Beaufort at 11:00am
   *   Hall Gap at 12:30pm 

If you have not got anything to do, get to it, I'll buy you a squash tomorrow.

Looked out the window to discover heavy fog outside. I hope to be on the road to Halls Gap soon, hopefully visibility will have improved by then.

See you all there!

Kev Murphy had arrived when I got back from a morning ride.  Jdbiker and Chippy arrived a few minutes later and are in the cabin next to me.  Almost time to make the 300 metre walk to the venue.

Well, the rain has just hit! Sitting at my tent, having a quiet beer before joining the others at their cabin and it opened up!
