24/5 Doncaster > Kinglake > Toolangi > Healesville cruise

Postby jay.ritchie » Sun May 19, 2013 3:19 pm

There seemed to be a little bit of interest about this drive on friday night, so i thought i'd put something together ealier.

I'd say this would have to be weather dependent, because if its wet, it can get pretty gnarly. If some of you havn't driven to kinglake, you're in for a surprise.
We start in doncaster > kangaroo ground > st andrews > kinglake > and then healesville via toolangi forest. Then everyone makes there way home. (I go home through christmas hills like shown.

It'd be good to get a group together, its a really good drive, heaps of fun.
Up for suggestions for which night to go as well.

So looks like we're gonna do tomorrow night in Grandma mode to get used to it. Everyone is invited to come along!

As always it's not a race and everyone should stick to their own driving ability!

Yeah this is on tonight,

All welcome, we'll take it easier than normal for newcomers and the fact that it'll probably be wet.
Meet at Doncaster pancake parlour at 8 or 8:30pm. Will confirm later.

62% chance of rain @ 6pm. This is much less than yesterday's ~75%.
I'm guessing it's gonna be very slight rain, if any.
