honk if you see me on the way or there!

Preferably at 7:45 Smithy, and then we hang around for potential late-comers until 8, then we roll out very soon after.

MattR, I can take point after settlement rd if you like, but I ain't fast. :oops:

Any other newbies, or those who don't come often, please come along. You dont have to reply in this thread, just rock-up on time.

Thanks for the drive guys, had a sweet time, and pleasure to meet you all.

Certianly settled into the car after first 25 klms or so,

....still looooong way to realise its full potential though :oops:

Should have rear sub frame brace installed by next time.

Yeah good to meet you Smithy. Perhaps suss out a decent wheel alignment soon, as that can make a big difference to the feel, and of course handling, of the car. You'll feel more comfortable behind the wheel as a result. A lot of the MX5 guys use Fulcrum, I use a guy out at Brendale who I find very good - can PM his contact details if you're interested.

UA, yes still pedalling. Now on full 105 black groupset, and CF frame

I've seen your name pop up on the Aus Cycling Forum a couple of times. Same nic for me too..

As for last Friday night, I thought it was great! I really enjoyed following Matt, and the slightly different route was worth it imo

We'll have to do Cootha and a coffee sometime. We might even convince Saboteur to join us

Thanks for the compliment on leading the group. The run out past the the restaurant was a nice bit of road that I haven't been on for a long time.

Also, who do you use at Brendale for your wheel alignments? I need some ideas for the Chugger as its getting nearer and the red rocket could probably use an alignement by now.

I'm gonna go for a buzz with a mate this Friday 18th.
Gonna go for a slightly longer drive and keep going toward Mt Glorious proper, whereas previous times we just go to the Samford turn-off then back again.
