Not that I want to get in a discussion about radars, cameras and speeding fines (re: good/bad, etc.)... But they always come out in force in school holidays.

There's a safety campaign just about every holidays, which usually involves more cops out there - just wait, the evening news will start to have a tally of how many deaths "we've had this break" once the holidays set in.

Tends to be more an Easter/Christmas period thing, which is a bit of a nonsense as statistically Fri night/Sat morning and Sat night/Sun morning are more dangerous times to be out there.

I've been around Coot-tha a few times in the last couple of weeks and haven't seen the police there at all, even in their usual spot where the road splits into Sir Samuel Griffith Drive and Scenic Drive (where the Legacy Way workers park). Haven't done a Nebo run for 6-7 weeks, did see that infamous black GTI on Gap Creek Road.

Not sure of plans for Friday night. May make the call later in the week.

Assuming this lovely sinus infection of mine stays at "annoying" and doesn't move up to "BLAH STUFF THIS I'M GOING TO BED", then I'll be there.

Just a bit concerned about this Mt. Zero thing.

We stick to the limit so it's fine

Yeah, I realise that Andrew. I wouldn't be going if it was a race.

Didn't see any last month, so I think we'll be fine.

Bunch of guys in cute Miatas? Under the speed limit? Before midnight? They'll leave us alone.

Matty we're waiting in you hah... Did you stay home?

Ahh! Sorry guys!

I came home from work, lay down for just a minute ...and then it was now. Guess I'm still not well, probably for the best that I didn't come.

Hope the run went well!
