Guys, Anyone fancy a rode out on Saturday 16th in the morning (or afternoon...or even both?) I was thinking of going down to Boonah to the Dugandan Hotel for Lunch..a short, painless ride so if anyone is up for it let me know and we'll organize it.
-
Sounds like a plan to me, Whizz. Count me in, if it's on.
-
Sorry can't make it as I start work at 3PM on the 16th so wouldn't have time to get back to Toowoomba from Dugandan Hotel
Have fun as it is a great destination.

Wizz and Rex
Now that all the confusion is sorted out. :rofl I'm available Saturday 16th for morning coffee or early lunch as I start work in Toowoomba at 3.00 PM. And on Sunday 17th I start work at 4.00PM so a little bit more flexable
:beer Thats right 0 Limit so no Beer only coffee
-
work until 9.15am otherwise maybe
-
I fancy that!
What time are we aiming for? I can be flexible on either Sat or Sun, so I can fit in with others.
-
G'day Whizz,
Where we up to with a ride Sat - or Sun?
I'm off to Mackay 1st up Mon, to have my head filled with stuff, so Sat is better for me.
-
OK, on Saturday I am going for an early(ish) lunch to the Dugandan Hotel and if you would like to join me then I would be only too pleased to meet up with you. :eat :beer :popcorn
The Dugandan Hotel which is about 1 km south of Boonah on the Rathdowney Road...and it is REALLY easy to find.
Link to the pub is here;
http://publocation.com.au/pubs/qld/dugandan/dugandan-hotel (http://publocation.com.au/pubs/qld/dugandan/dugandan-hotel)
Look up "Dugandan hotel, Boonah, Queensland" in Google Maps for how to get there.
I will be departing from the Yamanto Shopping Centre car park just off the Cunningham Highway at Yamanto not earlier than 10:30, if anyone would like to join me for the run down the road. From there it is only about a 45 minute ride, so it's a real easy one. Or you can make your own way there by whatever route you like with the intention of meeting up about 11:30 ish.
As you might be aware the idea is not necessarily to have to ride together, but more to meet up (either before we get there, or after we get there) and chat/eat/drink (beer or coffee), then depart whenever you wish, in whatever direction you wish, in whatever groups you wish. Hence the name RTE (Ride To Eat). A very relaxed, very informal way to have a stooge through the countryside.
If anyone has CB on their ST's I'll be on Channel 13 (callsign "Whizz") during the pre-ride park-up and during the ride.
Please give me an idea if you're up for the ride just so that we don't leave anyone behind. Sorry for the late notice but I had some other things that had to be sorted before I could be definite about this ride.
Looking forward to a relaxed, laid-back morning/lunchtime get-together.
-
Hi Whizz. I'd like to meet up at Yamanto and travel down with you, if that's OK? The shopping centre is on Ripley rd, or Warick Rd, opposite Ipswich - Boonah Rd?
-
Mate, that is absolutely fine, rock up sometime before 10:30, I'll be there from about 10:00 onwards.
Look forward to meeting you. :beer
-
I'll see y'all at the pub at around 11.30ish. My route will take through Kyogle and then up the Mt Lindsay Hwy and across from Rathdowney, so I won't be meeting at Yamanto. I'm looking forward to it.
Looks like 3 or 4 of us?
Does the pub serve lunches from 11.30? (I rarely go into pubs, so I wouldn't be sure)
-
Looking forward to it as well. As to whether they serve that early, I'm not sure but I'll find out and get back to you!
:eat :beer

-

Too true Bluey,
Great ride - good dialogue between the 5 of us - fun - laughter - debate - agreement - some of the time.
Glad you got home safely.

Good ride, good company, good weather, good beer, good food. What more could we ask for. I enjoyed the morning, thank you gentlemen, it was a great pleasure!
:clap :thumbs :thumbsup :clap
-
What a great day. Good weather, great ride, pleasant company, laid back conversation. Great food and everything around the venue was pleasing to one's eye - the scenery, I mean, of course. :beer :eat
Decided it was too good a day to come home to an uncut lawn, so I took a detour home via Canungra Village, :dred11 ( road thru Tambourine closed due to a landslip) then to the Coast - Southport for a quick coffee & home via the m2, Logan Mwy, Beaudesert Rd.
(288km. 15.64ltrs = 18.41 Km per Ltr.)
Great day thank you gentlemen. Look forward to doing again real soon. :thumbs :clap. :rockon

It was good to catch up with Wizz, RexJ, bobSTar & Wizz's mate? for Coffee at Yamanto :thumbsup :thumbsup
Then rode dowm to Boonah then headed home through Warwick "Come across a semi on it's side Warwick side Cunningham Gap"
Proberly the results of all night driving at least I have tracks to follow.
The rest headed over to Dugandan pub for lunch but I had to get home to start work at 3.00
Anywhey I had an enjoyable 320 Km loop
