Looks like a great cruise, but July 8th is my birthday, and I think the missus and I might be going somewhere :-) enjoy though!

The road from St Andrews to Kinglake is one of the best roads that i have been on. Been through there many times on my bike. Sadly i wont make it as i'm moving overseas. But enjoy!

P.S please remember to stay in your own lane on that road. The amount of times i went round corners on my bike and there was a car taking up half my lane was crazy. Its a very narrow road! You don't want a dead motorcyclist on your bonnet.

Have a good time. :D

n.b. The front car on our cruises drives VERY legally, and uses a CB to tell the rest what is coming up. ;)

As long as I am not working that day I should be in. I really need to actually go to a cruise for once.

Mate, that is short and sweet! My last cruise was 1000 kms across two days, so it is definitely short and sweet from my perspective!

Well no-one has posted a positive "yes" yet, so you're all still in the "maybe" basket!
