Your old body should handle the ride ok Shane, sleeping on the hard ground overnight might be a different matter though. :biggrin: When your young and full of fluid you can sleep anywhere, but when you get older things just aren't the same.  

Still not sure what I'm doing yet, stay overnight, or ride home after the ride, either way it's a great day out with fantastic scenery, great roads, and great people. Looking forward to it. :good2:

You really should stay Tony, it's fantastic at the tavern at night discussing the days ride.

I see my big 'bro is packed and ready to go, few weeks early but at least he is keen  :good2:  So at this stage it will be a meet up for brekky/coffee at the cafe opposite the Tav at 8.30am or thereabouts?

Only 6 or seven sleeps ta go!
A bit of housekeeping.....re Saturday 31st October 8am. START VENUE CHANGE. ..
  The usual brekky start venue with the View from Mapleton is now an Indian restaurant that doesn`t open for Brekky, so the meeting point is now the fantastic Mary Cairncross Park restaurant Near Melaney, with views over the Glasshouse Mountains at 8am ish. (Fueled up please.)

Here`s tha brekky revue, map & pics http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaurant_Review-g499670-d3382099-Reviews-Mary_Cairncross_Cafe-Maleny_Sunshine_Coast_Queensland.html
http://my247.com.au/sunshine-coast/Mary-Cairncross-Scenic-Reserve-Cafe.21613

Maybe some pics and chatter then around 9am, off to Pete`s Bellbird Café at Kenilworth for refreshments, via some of the best scenic roads in Australia. (Bald Knob rd and Bellthorpe)    http://www.bellbirdcreek.com/

Then back up the Obi Obi, one way hill climb and over the top to eventually experience time travel and the period of the Birth of our FJ`s at the Iconic Rick`s Garage Cafe for lunch.

Then it`s the leisurely road back up the plateau (The long way?) to the Mapleton Tavern, for some Muster Mania, bed check and a large table booked on the Verandah!  http://www.mapletontavern.com.au/ :drinks:

By good fortune I'll be in town not far from this for a work thingy. I've done my best to make arrangements & will try to be there, but just just for the brekky meet-up, then off to work again.
