We will then head off south and through some of the back roads of Jamberoo which we haven't done before and then end up at the new Illawarra Tree Top Walk & Cafe for lunch. After lunch we will explore the new tree top walk which is truly spectacular.

RSVP: None required just show up.
LENGTH OF RUN: Approximately 120klms.

Since we leave near Robertson and thusly about 15 minutes from the Illawarra Fly, we'll probably meet you guys on the way. Any idea of timings/route? I'm guessing you will come up Jamberoo Pass?

[Hurricane]

We will becoming through Calderwood Valley, Macquarie Pass and the back way in. Should arrive around 12.15pm. Look forward to you joining us for lunch and a walk afterwards.

Nice, will probably scoot down the hill and follow you all up, wouldn't miss that oppourtunity

[Garry]

I'll be there for this run. I hope the weather stays nice. I might even take the hardtop off.

[Hurricane]

What are you doing with your hardtop on Garry, this is the best time of year to have the hood down. I have already put in for a sunny day, so should be no problem there.

My thoughts exactly when I saw him on Wednesday as he past me stuck in traffic in the Airport tunnel.

Mind you the Black SP was gleaming in the sunlight as it came out the otherside while my poor NC still hadn't been washed since Eastern Creek.

I put it on a few months ago for a cold, wet bleak trip to Tamworth. I've only been doing boring comute trips recently so haven't bothered to take it off.

I thought you were a bit keen the other morning CB with your roof down. I only drove my car to work because it was to cold to ride my motorbike, and there you were all rugged up with the roof down.

Hey, the sun was out
Besides we have had colder mornings in the previouse weeks where the tops been down but I must admit on a few really cool ones I left it up.

[CoffeeBoss]

Well, we have been hooning around in the Highlands with the top down most weekends of late, often in sub 10 degree tempertures. The heater in the NC is awesome, have never needed to run it beyond half speed!

Keep in mind for Sunday, could well be below 10 degrees once you reach the top of the escarpment/Illawarra Fly. So bring your favourite jackets/scarfs/beanies/flask of warming ale

how many we go so far?

how many we go so far?

I'm not sure you'll know till the day. There's no RSVP required so if it's a nice sunny day like today then there'd be a pretty good turnout I expect.

[CoffeeBoss]

Indeed - i counted about 35? MX5's on my last Club run, which was a Cows & Coast run some time ago now.

This will be my first club run in the NC so hopefully the weather is like today. Forecast is promising at least.

[Hurricane]

I think we could have as many as 40 people turn up on Sunday. Already 11 definites coming from Canberra. Should be a great day. Tops down all the way, nothing like the fresh wind in your hair and I for one hate the cold weather.

WILL BE THERE IS THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!
