SIX WEEKS TO GO
Sad news, Bollocks is out
he has spent and bought gear and Wolfman bags / racks etc but work commitments have him by the short and curlys. Having just been away with him recently on his ride he will be missed.There is a fill in ready to take up the challeges one of the ride and two of being ChrisT’s partner :laugh: His name will be announced soon.
The tee shirt offer by Nick has seen only two peeps respond which is disappointing considering how much people liked last years, or did they like the fact that Nick paid for last years I wonder :huh:
There will be a telephone hook up on a Sunday coming to you soon watch for a date. There will also be an amount of money from each person for the sat or sat phones. The recommended accommodation for the pre ride saturday night at Lighting Ridge will be given out so accommodation can be booked. There are only two planned accommodation nights, Saturday night the 8th at the Ridge and Cammerons corner if they have accommodation whenever we get there. (it won’t be booked ahead because who knows what may happen or when we get there)
Remember there are minimum maintenance and wear item replacement requirements for this ride, if they aren’t done and cant be proven that they have been done there will be no going on the trip. We don’t have the benefit of a support vehicle to throw the bike on, we won’t be passing bike shops every couple of days so the requested bits are to be replaced or stay home. It isn’t fair for 11 others to sit on the side of the track because you think your wheel bearings should be ok, or you thought your chain and sprockets would be ok. Brand new the weeks before or not at all. It also isn’t fair if we ride on and leave you on the side of the track is it? If you have a problem with that PM me or stay home. My bike will be checked as will yours at Lighting Ridge, the list of stuff that needs to be replaced / renewed before the ride
The route is almost finished, if you want a copy turn your GPS tracker on and when you get back you will have a copy.
Reread the first post it has the maintenance requirements, the updated riders list etc it has been updated and will continue to be updated as it gets closer.
