PAST EVENT

Sunday 7th of July 2013 - Country Cruise “The MX-500”

Pat Gannon will be taking us on a Sunday Drive for people who love a long spirited drive that gives you the opportunity to spend some time on roads further afield. This is not a relaxed tour of the region with long lunches and coffee breaks; it is about the drive and the roads. This spirited drive may challenge a single driver, or it will be a bit more laidback (but no less fun) for two.

It won’t be a navigation exercise; the instructions are straight forward.

The first 166 km leg of the drive is a loop through the Lane Poole Conservation Reserve before we explore the area around the Wellington Dam and the Collie River Valley ending with a regroup at the St Aidan Winery in the Ferguson Valley for a stretch / driver change / toilet stop.

The second 142 km second leg takes us through Collie where you can refuel at the Caltex (Vortex 98), Gull (PULP) or Shell (98 RON) before continuing to Ye Olde Quindanning Inne for Lunch.

The 134 km last leg takes us to the finish at the Vernon Arms Tavern in Baldivis some 57 km south of Perth. We should get there before 4 pm to reflect on the days drive and share some stories before you make your own way home.

We meet at the Dôme Café in Pinjarra 83 km south of Perth from 8 am onwards if you want to have brekkie at the Dôme, or in time for the 9 am departure if you are having yours beforehand.

All in all you are looking at a total distance of some 582 km; a bit more if you hail from the northern suburbs and a bit less if you are a southerner.

If you want to be in it reserve your spot now be emailing Aart at events@mx5club.com.au and let him know what you and your navigator want for lunch from the menu as we need to pre-order lunch.
