Sounds like a great cruise.. I grew up near Samford so I musta done that road a million times.. Night cruises with the Rex club were the best (and scariest!!)
I suggest that anyone coming from the south of Brissie meet up at The Gap end.. That section from the gap to glorious is the best IMHO. (You'll miss that coming from Samford then going north)
I'm not trying to complicate things, just saying that some of us might start earlier and we can meet up the top?
There's also a dinky little road that goes from Woodford up the back of the mountains into Maleny if we wanted.. It's not used very much and has some great curves..
Keep me posted.. Time to find a baby sitter

Actually, ultimate cruise = the gap to glorious to Samford to daybora to mt Mee to Woodford to maleny/montville. That's an awesome day but lots of driving..

Ps. Went to a wedding on the weekend and found the ultimate "hill climb". Look up a road called "the panorama" in Tallai on the Gold Coast. Awesome awesome road; shame we were in the wife's Landy..:(

That's another option too.
I have no problem starting at The Gap end, however I don't know of any meeting places in the area.
Personally I'd prefer doing the whole run as a group and not meeting in the middle, if this means we start at the gap that is no issue.
If this is preferable to the majority, if someone could suggest a meeting point and make a new map, I am happy to change it :D

Depending on numbers, most cruises will have a few meeting points though.. You can meet at either the mt cootha botanic gardens or right at the start of the run there's a little state forest ranger station area with a car park. Either can work ok..

You're right. Most I've been on generally have the one main meeting point and people who may live in a certain area may have mini meets.
The only reason I suggested Woodford is for the guys at the Sunshine Coast, it's asking them a bit much to meet at The Gap. Woodford is sort-of in the middle I guess haha
Might hit up that hill climb you mentioned in a future cruise?
