Post by: Gadget on October 13, 2015, 12:28:16 PM: Name a time STimpy, and they will turn up. I used do a quick Google Maps check to see how long it will take the furthest people to get there. But some people love an early morning start and others don't so you can't predict it.

It's your RTE so take charge. ++

Cheers,
Gary

I am thinking of kicking off about 6am and head out through Yatala, Beaudesert and Boonah then pick up the hwy from Aratula south. To finish the day off I'm thinking maybe a run down the Bruxner and home via Bonalbo and Woodenbong.

I am planning on heading off around 7am.Coming off shift work i am stuffed but can't get to sleep any earlier than midnight so the later the start the better.I will head off via the logan motorway onto the cunningham with the cruise control set to boring >:()

No worries Duncan, I'll leave you to that ride. I'll do my best to make my route a little more interesting than just the slab, although that's exactly what I'll be doing from Aratula out. See you out there. I'm heading off about 6am to allow time for a coffee stop along the way.

We left home just before 07:00 and returned just after 17:00 :thumbsup

It was a nice ride there.
We made it through all the working people traffic (thankfully lane filtering is legal and the cagers are starting to leave space for the bikers :thumbs) then out on the highway after a while the traffic died away :runyay
We had a rest stop for 5 at Warwick then headed onward, catching up with STimpy and his crew after a while then followed them the rest of the way to the RTE.

It was amazing to see so many people had been able to make the Tuesday RTE and everyone seamed to have a great time :clap :clap :clap

I'll put up some video from the ride later :thumb

Cheers

it was fantastic to see everyone, if only for a short while (i was fashionably late)

Grabbed some photos at a few landmarks along the way, the big apple, random dinosaur, and a mini pyramid which was really cool!

I left home at meringandan at 7am and had a leisurely cruise down to Wallangarra, stopping at Allora, Warwick and Stanthorpe. Followed Streak part of the way back and learned about the back way from Warwick to Allora. The southern downs is a very pretty place to travel through.
Good to meet and catch up with everyone,

Heading home I enjoyed a great trip down the Bruxner Hwy to Casino and home via Summerland way to Woodenbong and then Mt Lindsay Hwy to Rathdowney and eventually home. There was very little traffic all the way and it was one of those days were the weather was glorious for riding and I felt as if I was one with my bike. It was a 670k most enjoyable day :thumbs
