[N S W] Putty Road Run, Sunday Sep. 14th 2008

[sliq]

silvermiata is in too.

[Rotary]

This is the rain Map we need to be concerned with, doesn't matter how wet my driveway is sunday 5am




i have roughly boxed out a section to keep an eye on, as i will the next day or so
(post more accurate box soon)

EDIT:Layered in a Road Chop from Google, but dimensions only 90%, should be a little wider but gives an idea
Hit refresh on your browser if you cant see the road outline

and post a few updates on how its looking.


map can be found here

Weather update: 7.30pm Friday. All Clear, Looks good to go.

Sat map shows a large cloud mass moving in (Although it doesn't mean too much)

but until i see rain fall in the above location, its on.

For those coming from the north, shall we meet at Thornleigh maccas around the 5am mark? That way it gives us plenty of time to get to Mc Graths Hills

[Rotary]

Another good map to look at is the NSW Rainfall Radar

this one might give a good warning on incoming rain hours ahead.


Only reason i write all this, is because they have been saying rain developing sunday for a week, and now its rain saturday night clearing sunday.

Just a bit sick of the weather report, when they say rain, they say all of sydney, and half the time its rain only in 1 area and totally dry all day in another.

So this aint the sydney weather report. this is the Putty run weather report

[sliq]

haha nice work matt.

sounds like you'll be coming along on this run?

[Rotary]

Yeah looks to be a good turnout.

I Havn't read the last 15 pages. Still at the Macca's?
or maybe we can just meet up as last time, if your heading out from there?

Rotary,

You need to stretch your box south to Windsor and north to Singleton then east across to Gosford because that will cover the full run. You dont actually go to Putty, it's down a side road part way along the Putty Road. I've been meaning to go to Putty (the town) one day but have never got around to it.

A few of you have PMs

[Regie]

im back to a maybe now peoples. if im not at thornleigh maccas at 5am i wont be coming!

but i shall try my hardest to be there

[Alex]

I should be in Berowra at about 5am (leaving work, Rockdale, at 4am) so if you guys want to meet us at the Mobil in berowra (just north of the Shell) at about 5 then we can take the ferry to get there (unless your 5 is lowered you should be fine).

[Alex]

Forecast for Saturday
Early fog in the west. A fine day with cloud increasing in the afternoon. Showers developing overnight. Light westerly winds tending moderate north to northeast in the afternoon.
Precis: Fine day. Showers overnight.

Sunday Showers, clearing in evening.

O NO

Yeah, noticed that on google maps, but was using dodgy paint to box it.
Now with a road outline, but i'll give up now , coz even thats a bit off
not a good graphic designer. i'll stick to engines.

Weather Report
Still looks good but i think we will know better from 6pm onward
and by 11pm should have a good idea on whats happenning.
