Great stuff Mark!

Pete not only knows the routes like the back of his hand, I think RMS used his hand for the map!

Same as Phil said, if you need a bed on the way down, you are most welcome. I'm heading down on the Friday.

Phil what day are you going? I was thinking of going via Nerriga & then down the Clyde.

Johno are you confirmed?

Looking good to make the trek. I have recieved approval from the minister for Finance and Entertainment. It's just down to the unforseen stuff now.

That's excellent Mark, you might want to take Phil or Troy up on their offer of accomodation, lots of roos down that way and you've got 2 days either side of the weekend off.

Giving it serious thought Noel. My lights arent suited to after dark activities anyway. Tried it once heading the the Mapleton Muster. Bad lights in unfamiliar territory is not something I would recommoend to anyone. :negative:

I've done 1000's of unplanned night km's with just the FJ headlight and it sucks. Riding the last 200km from the NW into Waikerie SA at night was the last straw. I could see waaaay better with light off!

Riding at night in Oz is hazardous enough, doing it with a terrible headlight stacks the odds against you even further. Besides, the bar opens early on Friday.

Pete, I am firming as a definite (upgraded from a maybe). I have received all the appropriate approvals.  :yahoo:
I will be leaving up here on the Thursday, so I won't be a late arrival on the Friday now. I am a bit allergic to riding in the dark in roo Central.

So next is, do I need to bring my swag, or is there a sleeping spot for me.   :crazy:

   G'day Mark, sorry about the late reply mate but I've just spent the last 7 days riding around the Victorian and NSW high country. I don't need to tell you how good it was as I reckon the secret is already out. Easily the best roads in the country.
Don't need to bring your swag along, we have a bed for you. Some of the regular attendees haven't responded yet so first in gets the beds.
   Looking forward to seeing you and showing you how good this end of the coast is.
   Regards, Pete.   :good2:

On that note Pete, what's temperature and weather going to be like?
Got any (not so) long weather forecasts for where we will be?

Alan, the weather's always fantastic down here. Just bring a pair of shorts, tee shirt and a pair of thongs (the type you wear on your feet) and all will be good.
We do, however get the occasional storm at this time of year so bring the rain gear just in case. No need for sleeping gear as beds are available.
   See you in two and a half weeks.
