Putty Road Cruise

[Amaru]

Well its that time of year again for the SAU-NSW Putty Road cruise.

Every year a few ACT people head up, and it is one of the best weekends I think you could have with your Skyline.

What is it? Putty Road is a nice long windy road that runs from Windsor (very outer Sydney) up to Singleton. The cruise usually takes about 2 hours, with a stop over in the middle (the best sausage rolls in existance!!). There is plenty of BP Ultimate and Shell Optimax availible near Windsor and there is Shell Optimax availible in Singleton.

The usual plan? We head up on Friday afternoon, stay at the Windsor terrace motel (www.windsorterracemotel.com) which is about 2 minutes away from the meeting point for the cruise. Friday night involves going to the local pizza place and relaxing with good food and drink. Saturday is the cruise which finishes just after lunch (we all have lunch at the pub in Singleton) and then you can either head back to Canberra or stay in Sydney Saturday night.

So, when is it? Saturday the 15th July.

The price? SAU-NSW club members free, non members are $5. This is an official CAMS sanctioned event and as such the charge for non members is to cover the public liability insurance.

This is usually one of SAU's biggest events of the year, and once you have been you will keep going back every year. It will also be a chance for you all to meet the mysterious Shell as she usually goes

Hopefully some of you can make it up, you wont regret it. The only extra thing I will add is no dickheads. If youre going to bring a dickhead attitude, a tendancy to do burnouts or skids or drive like a wanker, stay at home because we dont want you there.

[tridentt150v]

Damn................25th Canberra, 15th Windsor, 29th Sheparton..........methinks it is all happening.

I've sort of said I'll go to the Canberra thing, but I may have to do use the scientific approach........eeny, meeny, miney, moe..........I'll have to let you know.

PS I can only get out of jail for one!!!

Gawd damm ACT people, thinking they are NSW'ers LOL..

Nah its all good.. Hopefully a few of you guys can take the time to come up here. Shell, Nick, etc.

[race_snooze]

I am going to try and make this one, depends on the total cost.

[low200]

can i come in the 200 if its ready or skylines only?

[Amaru]

I believe that should be fine, you will have to pay the $5 though unless you are a SAU-NSW member.

race_snooze, the windsor motel is $99 for the night on Friday, then you can stay in Sydney saturday night if you want or go back to Canberra (it finishes around 1:30PM and its a 5ish hour drive back to Canberra from Singleton).

Dont know if I can get the Friday off work, if I cant ill be leaving straight after work at 4:30PM.

[low200]

excellent, im hoping to be back on the road in 2-3ish weeks so i should be right to roll

[race_snooze]

so $100 for the night, $200 in fuel $100 for drinks 5$ for food lol.

Nick is that $100 for both nights or just $100 each night. Plus it would be twin share too i would imagine.

[Amaru]

Its $100 for the friday night at windsor terrace motel.

What you do Saturday is up to you, im going to be staying in Sydney somewhere though

[MIVEC]

Interesting, I'll definately keep this in mind.

I've heard nothing but good about this road.

Well there you go. If that's not a good enough reason to come i don't know what is

Just need to add something here.... this is an official SAU-NSW club event, and it looks like we're going to make it SAU-NSW club members and invited guests only this year.

It's still being discussed in the members area on the forum.. but looks like that's the way it's gonna be.

that said, there is NO problem with any of you coming who are not members, as i'm happy to make you my invited guests if I'm the only member going from here (or you might know a member in sydney yourself), but i just wanted to make you aware of this fact.

we just need to cover our arses with our CAMS insurance and not have randoms turning up ruining for everyone..

Anyway, hope some of you can make it, it's a great road - until you get stuck behind a sunday grandpa but they usually get intimidated with 30 or so lines up their arse that they pull over and let us through lol... last year there was me, my friend Bridget, Nik, Mark, Ewen and Cassie, but hope to see a few more of you this year!
