Shiney,

Can we move Scuttlebutt Café to another weekend? Possibly on a Saturday.

We don't have anyone with their name on the list yet.

Gary,  Don't change on account of the clash of dates. I don't think any CQ or NQ members would be able to attend the Springbrook RTE - just too far away.

Hey Brookester
  Unfortunate timing for an RTE ride is fairly commonplace for me too. Seems more miss than hit. I'm sure if we have a good time, we're bound to do it again... hope you're free for the next one. All the best, John.

Hi John

Shiney has changed date of Springbrook RTE to following weekend (24th) so may get a few more starters.  But as it seems to be with Queensland weather lately, apparently now it's going to be wet.  Fortunately Big Red has already proved herself on a trip up Toowoomba range at 2015 Rally. 

Cheers  :||||

Just had a thought, it happens, I have ridden with the local guys Rocky cruisers a few times here in Rocky, I am sure if I put it up on facebook with them we would get a few more riders along, please let me know if that would be ok, most ride cruisers rather then tourers if that matters

  Yeah Michael, go for it... more the merrier. 

  David, we too are suspecting it may be a damp ride, but we're okay with it. Planning on leaving up here at 7:30am, so we shouldn't be too far away at 11am.

Cheers, John

**** STOP PRESS ****
  Due to torrential rain and potential flooding in and around Central Queensland, we've reluctantly decided to postpone this RideToEat to a later date, yet to be decided. Cheers, John & Kate.

Good call.  Just checked latest forecast and it's 95% chance for 25-60mm rain in Yeppoon and 10-30mm here in Bundy.  Probably not too bad to ride in but after 2-3 days lots of standing water and floodways full of.........water!

Cheers & next time for sure!!!  ;-*  :thumb

Very good call...had over 200mm since 9am on top of 145mm previous 24hrs....I gotta ride to BrisVegas tomorrow no matter what so I hope it backs off in rain and wind (currently 50km/h) cause the little KLR650 ain't no road warrior... :crazy

  Thanks to everyone for the updates. It was fine and sunny first thing this morning and I was thinking - Doh!  :-[to
  We do want to make it to Yeppoon because it looks a great place to be, just with more favourable conditions.
Cheers, John & Kate.

 We're hoping that when we come back with a revised RTE date it won't be a precursor for another deluge... and everyone may have a better chance of attending.

By the way, here is Brookester's progress on the way to BrisVagas.  http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0vGlrINqr7jNFkKbmzUtoYgInjU9dNqDH (http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0vGlrINqr7jNFkKbmzUtoYgInjU9dNqDH)

   Hey Everyone.... as Brookester said, we had a great RTE, perfect weather, tasty food and good company... thanks to Brooke for putting Kate and me up and hope to return the favour when the jam runs out in the next few weeks... thanks also for the look-around ride before the RTE. Yeppoon's definitely a lovely place and a mecca for tourists and grey-nomads.

   Thanks a lot to DBfive for making the effort,  it was great to see you again. Thought we'd close with a couple of comparison photos....

Glad it went well.
