| Hey guys, just wondering if any of the Geelong or Melbourne members would be interested in a Great ocean road cruise some time before the weather turns to crap over the next few months. I remember seeing the soarer cruises go thru Geelong when I was a kid, clearly a success. So who would be interested? Weekend, week day, day, night???? |

| i hate that stupid road, its crap, full of tourists and caravans, and a fair few cops. although there are some national park roads along it that are good fun. |

| yea sounds good, i know the road can be pretty down that way on a public holiday but maybe follow the great ocean road down and as marc said, national park on the way back, thru deans marsh and moriac. used to be a good round trip on my road bike back in the day |

| Sounds good. for me though will need lots of notice. Like at least a few weeks so I can plan the trip down (and convince the missus). I'm already 3 hours the other side of the city but am very keen to meet and greet some other soarer owners. Saturday or Sunday for me also. |

| So when are we going to do this. I've had my car for three years and I've only done three day trips to dyno days. Its time to meet, discuss options and see what others are doing. I'm sick of waving to others & they don't acknowledge. Make a date & those that turn up turn up and go. |

| Well how about Anzac day, 26th we all meet at the Bunnings in Waurn Ponds, the other side of geelong as your heading out towards the coast. Ill do up a map and post it on here, its pretty easy for all the melbourne people to get to as its at the end of the geelong ring road on the right. Say 11am, on the road by 12, head to lorne or apollo bay??? then back thru lorne, deans marsh, bambra, moriac and back into geelong at the bunnings? |

| Boy that cruise is exactly the same as the one we did 8 years ago Chris start off a little earlier mate and make it Lunch down at Apollo bay that way you won't loose any body and if you do you can all park up so thay can catch up. when you start off to mate have some one at the front and one at the rear so you can talk to each other incase of any thing going wrong. when we did ours we started around 9 to 10 am and we finished around 6 that night .but we had 50 odd cars on that cruise |

| haha, yea i was just looking at it, geelong, lorne, deans marsh, geelong is only 137km, could knock that over in a couple of hours... maybe the appollo bay and earlier start is a better option... geelong, anglesea, lorne, apollo bay, deans marsh, geelong? option1 220km option 2 135.5km |

| Just to clarify from a naval officer, Anzac Day is the 25th, the public holiday Monday is the 26th. If its the 26th, I would like to come along. |

| Chris don't forget that you are going to have slow drivers with you and from fairhaven to apollo bay is going to be slower than you expect. But mate do it all the way to apollo bay it is a great trip. Craig thanks for the pics mate it brings back memories of one of the greatest cruises in the history of soarer central or ALSC back then. |

| Bugger. Wish I hadn't recommended the 26th now. Family has made other arrangements and I wont be able to make it now. Good luck everyone. I'll keep an eye out for the next cruise. Maybe an eastward cruise.... would much better suit me living in Gippsland. Cheers |
