Hey guys just a heads up, the condition of Kyogle Rd between Uki and the Nimbin turnoff is just atrocious...be very weary of travelling this part of the rd at speed there are pot holes big enough to swallow a small car, the rd is severely chopped up in places. One of my biker mates was through there a few days back and it's bad plus they are getting a crap load of rain at the moment.

Stay safe

[arutha]

well given frazza's update on the road condition along with the fact that it is currently pouring outside and the weather forecast says it will be raining for the next few days you may want to consider postponing this cruise steve. even if it were to stop raining tonight it would still take several days for some of those roads to dry out let alone any debris be cleared off them. you could always move your mini meet to this weekend and have it some where undercover. just a thought

[Frazza]

I'm told the roads over Beechmont and Springbrook are in pretty good condition so maybe just change the route and not go so far south.

[sleeper]

yeah, i think a postponement may be in order

anyone want to do the minimeet on saturday instead?, or do we postpone this run for a fortnight?

chubb and glen mightnt make it in 2 weeks and its very short notice to change the minimeet

i`ll ask on the wynnum minimeet thread, see what happens

[Tweak]

hardtuned.net are having a flood appeal cruise. BThis is a cruise not to miss. There will be some epic cars and also some of the best photogs around.

Iam going to be at the southside meet

[sleeper]

springbrook road was closed due to a landslide last i checked frazza.

heres what i`ll do i think, postpone the kyogle run for 2 weeks, give the roads a chance to be cleaned up and leave the minimeet as is, its too wet for that too this weekend atm.

thanks for the heads up guys

[Tarquin]

... and I just had confirmation from my +1..... LOL

Ah well... better to save our suspension and side skirts for when the roads are a bit better and there isn;t a torrent of water washing over them.

I might not be able to make the 22nd - so we'll see how the dates works out?

I doubt the roads would be 'repaired' before then either, so the potholes will still exist...

With Oz Day that following week, do we perhaps even delay it a few more weeks into Feb??

N.B. Treasure Hunt coming up too... Bribie Beach Cricket... A few things on in the Qld. camp in the coming weeks.....

[sleeper]

give us time to check with the relevent councils and get a repair schedule anyway pete. atm, theres no date set.

[sleeper]

for those that are dissapointed, as i am, we could still do this little one, its sorta pick a road and go, we could have a counterlunch at st bernards hotel, mt tambourine? (instead of lunch at the park).

Im presuming the people that were originally going to Kyogle would still want to do the Mount Tamborine run?? unless they have made other plans when they saw the post regarding the postponment?? Anyone know if Beck picked up her new lancer today ???
