Sau Nationals Road Trip "super Cruise"

[Pezhead]

OK so the trip details are updated. Turns out Google back-tracked one leg so I've pushed the start time back 30 minutes and trimmed the pit stops to bare minimum. I know a lot of you long haul trip runners can do this no sweat in a quick run, but this is a group convoy. We have to plan for health breaks and there will be a few more stop/starts than if you just ran it solo.

If it's getting on your nerve - then just go ahead of the group. The whole point of this road trip is to make it enjoyable for the group.

As long as majority of people wanting to go are ok with it. I guess the people who can't/don't want to start early can organise a late starters trip. At the end of the day, we are all meeting up at the same destination!

Really really stupid Question... What day are you's leaving?

[Pezhead]

Me too but I fell behind on the few things to tidy up on the car. So I guess it will be a few late nights finishing those last bits.

[Pezhead]

Oh, was also going to tell you folks that MotiveDVD is covering the event. Andrew and crew will be driving down from Sydney and might be joining us on the convoy/film some of the trip down.

[R31Nismoid]

Ye Andrew/Motive *might* be joining you guys, as they are making the SAU Nats DVD etc.

It's not 100% confirmed as yet but that's their plan at this stage

Hi Terry:

Quick question re Yass meet-up time:

According to your estimated drive times below, assuming you leave Pheasants Nest on time at 7:30am you will easily get to Yass Caltex by 9:30am -

This means nearly an hour's wait for rendezous with Canberra crew, and Yass ain't that interesting.

Maybe a 9:30 or 9:45 meet time would be better?

Thank you for organising this cruise - really looking forward to it

Robert
