Even though it is probably like paying to walk along Moss St, I'll hook in. New place won't be ready yet - but- we can always ride to it, park in the garage and walk to the center. New place is 200m from Pac Fair. Figure bikes would be safer this way.

We could make a ride of it over Tamborine? We don't have to go down the goat track. There is another way down.

Yeah, instead of turnong off to go down the goat track you keep going. Come out further out of Canungra. We could then ride through Clagriba to the Numinbah, then follow the road back in to Nerang.

Day: Sunday
Where: BP Yatala
Time: 8am

Route: - Tambo, Calagriba, park and walk maybe a click. This Route (http://www.google.com/maps?saddr=Yatala,+Queensland,+Australia&daddr=-27.8929455,153.1496051+to:Clagiraba,+Queensland,+Australia+to:-28.00603,153.27913+to:Hooker+Boulevard%2FState+Route+90&hl=en&ll=-27.87368,153.304596&spn=0.504402,0.891953&sll=-28.036418,153.423085&sspn=0.031478,0.055747&geocode=FaHjWP4dxvohCSkfmmAbv2qRazFQn97zWqMCBQ%3BFS9jVv4dpeAgCSmL7UCf5DyRazHiHrGV1KrecQ%3BFTcIVf4dSmMiCSmP-t1z_BiRazGgod7zWqMCBQ%3BFXKpVP4dmtoiCSk91A88bRmRazFAhpPNWqMCEw%3BFUw5VP4dqB0lCQ&oq=Broadbeach&mra=dme&mrsp=4&sz=15&via=1,3&t=m&z=11) If you want to park at the center it's $5 for bikes.

We can leave the BP at 7:30 if you like. That way we get there closer to open time or leave it at 8am. 7:30 might be a better time, fewer idiots on the roads as well.

Hmmmm at this stage I'm out but I'll let you know for sure got lots on the weekend.
Title: Re: Gold Coast motorcycle expo
Post by: mister on February 13, 2012, 03:40:04 PM
Ok. I assume you are out. If you go, maybe see you there. How about pub on friday?
Title: Re: Gold Coast motorcycle expo
Post by: slipperymongoose on February 13, 2012, 06:00:04 PM
I may be able to come but yeah rule me out for now, can't do the pub either working nights.

Are we meeting Terry at the BP Yatala?
Title: Re: Gold Coast motorcycle expo
Post by: mister on February 14, 2012, 03:32:58 AM
Gotta check with him. Otherwise we can make our own different route down without going via the BP at all. Maybe via Beaudesert or whatever...

I think travelling through Springfield - Greenbank then to Tamborine saves us an hour rather than going to Yatala BP.

Any other Brissy GSer's up for this?

If Tim decides to come we can always meet at Tamborine before we head up the mountain.

All good except if you take a left at Camp Cable Road you won't have to go into Jimboomba then sorta back up.
