<B>THE PLAN: Meet at Chadstone Shopping Centre. Leave at 11am sharp.</B>
Take
"Princes Fwy" to just past Dandenong and turn off down
"South Gippsland Hwy" which is nice scenic stretch of road. Turn left at Lang Lang (Westernport Rd) to re-group if anyone is left behind, and put on the racing gloves.
This then leads all the way to Drouin. Should arrive ~12:30pm. There's a nice hotel and a few other eating spots available for lunch. There's a spot we can all park too.
I'd call here the "official" end of the cruise.
After lunch, if people need to head home, they can jump straight on the M1 (Princes Fwy) and be back in the CBD within 1 1/2hrs.
But for those of us wanting more twisties, head north toward Noojee and up toward Yarra Junction. Or head south from Warragul towards Korumburra -- i rode this road by myself last year, and had to stop to take photos. The road quality is crap for bikes, but valley scenery is breathtaking!
We can decide on the day if we need to avoid crappy weather.
How does this sound guys? I will check back tomorrow.
OQQO: Darn, sorry you can't make it.
Gotta catch up with you again! Been meaning to call you.
