It will be for most of us. This way we won't get separated by traffic and Sunday drivers whilst exiting Melbourne.

Just a warning to anyone using google maps, apparently they want me to trek or fly from old Princess hwy to the meet point.
Stay on Princess FWY until you actually get the chance to turn in to BP.

Plenty of room for donuts in the mentioned carpark. I even have spare rims in your PCD so we don't need to destroy your tyres ;)

I'll give people a warning now about road conditions.
It's currently raining, and if it's raining in the hills, the roads might be a bit greasy, and some of the corners from Erica to Thomson Dam are tighter than you might think. So once you start going down hill to the dam, watch the corners! Same goes for the road into Walhalla.

Probably see you all at Moe!

I will hand out some printed notes at the start point. Here is a first draft of the file.
Note, I have added a stop just after we turn off the freeway into Moe, just to make sure we've gathered everyone together before driving through Moe.
