Is anyone coming from the West interested in a pre-meetup at the Dalton Rd Shell, just off the ring road?
It will take about 50 minutes to get from there to Lilydale.

Also, I'm considering pushing all the times back 30 minutes to make it easier for those travelling a long way to the start.
(i.e. 8:00am meetup for 8:30 start)
We may have to skip the Buxton leg to avoid getting back to Healesville too late.
Opinions?

Ric,

Just got my travel confirmed and I do not get back into to Melbourne until midday on the 21 Oct. This will be the 1st cruise I have missed in a long time! :(

I guess I will just have to make up for it over the November long weekend! :)

I'm good for a west side premeet. And I don't mind what time we get back to healesville, however I would like it to start as late as possible 8)

Yeah I'd be keen to meet up at Dalton road before. And I like the sound of a later start too. :D

Bit of a novice / non melbournite question...... Will i need to get any city link or east link passes for the cruise? :oops:

No.

Just take the ring road around from Geelong Rd to Dalton Rd.
It's 30 minutes from Hoppers Crossing . http://goo.gl/maps/gJ0fT

It would be about 20 minutes quicker for you to go over the Westgate Bridge, up Hoddle St, and out the Eastern Fwy and part of Eastlink, directly to Lilydale, but then you would need a toll pass. http://goo.gl/maps/kk56j
