Friday Ride
Friday’s ride will leave from the United Service Station at Mullaway at 2pm. As people are driving that day no doubt someone will need fuel, a bite to eat or some air in their tyres so if we meet here any dramas can be solved before we head out. It is less 3 kms south of Darlington Beach Resort and it is on the Pacific Hwy so it is impossible to miss.Here it is on the map.
The ride will finish back at the resort so it is best to unload up there and then ride down unless you run out of time. If so then there is plenty of space to unload and leave your car at the servo.
Friday Night
Dinner for Friday night is booked at the Amble Inn and the shuttle bus will run us from the resort to the pub and back. The shuttle bus will commence pick ups from 6.30pm and run for 20 mins so if you get there after that you will need to organise a taxi or ring the pub and try and get them back to pick you up. The shuttle will run you back to the resort when you are done.Saturday Morning
I met with Darlington Park and organised breakfast for Saturday morning. Last year some people bought food with them and others went looking for it on the Saturday morning and had to rush back to make the ride so I thought this would be the best option. This way we all get fed in one spot and we are all gathered together ready for rider breifing at 8.30am.
If you do want to bring your own breakfast and eat it in your cabin on Saturday morning you can still do that but I thought this would be a good start to the day.
For anyone bringing their family they are included in this deal and I also arranged a price for kids.
Breakfast will be served at 7.30am in ‘The Ponds Cafe’.
$16 per adult:
$9 per child:
• Selection of juices, teas and coffee
• Selection of cereals, muesli and yoghurt
• Toast with condiments
• Fresh whole fruit or fruit salad
• Scrambled or fried eggs and crispy baconLunch on Saturday will be at the Golden Dog Hotel in Glenreagh. They do a great range of blackboard specials for $12.50 and they know the numbers and times to expect. Fuel will be shuttled to the pub to meet you at lunch as none is available in town. I ask you to pair up with some one so that my old man does not have to drive around with 50 jerry cans in my ute. Bring your jerry to the rider briefing at 8.30 in the resort car park.
After lunch the groups will swap leaders and head out for the afternoon ride. For those that wish to pull the pin you can ride back 30km’s on a main road to the resort. If anyone has bike dramas there will be a vehicle to bring you and your bike back to the resort from Glenreagh.Saturday Night
Dinner for Saturday will be at the Darlington Camp Cook House as it was last year. It is a great place to have a party and to do the auction without us geting in anyone elses way. For this you will need to bring something to throw on the BBQ. The resort does make BBQ catering packs so even this can be sorted on the day. As most of you are in cabins though you have a fridge so bring some snags or steaks for the BBQ. I will supply bread, salads and condiments as I did last year so you don’t have to worry about the small stuff. I will bring paper plates and plastic knifes and forks so if you need something with more class then BYO it. There is a bottle shop up the road so you can stock up for this Saturday afternoon if you did not bring it with you. The Camp Cook House has fridges and I will bring some large eskies and ice.Sunday
Sunday morning you can order some breakfast off the cafe menu or eat whatever you bring. I am pretty sure I skipped that meal last year and even struggled to keep lunch down
At 9am I will lead a 3 hour ride for those still keen for more that will start and finish back at the resort so that those travelling can get away.
For those staying for the day it will be lunch at the Ponds Cafe at the resort and then the inaugural OBT surf afternoon followed by recovery drinks around the poolSTM

I need the 690 carted up as I have to tow my van up on the friday evening ,,,,
Needless to say, I would need the 690 returned to Newy as well :laugh:I am willing to throw in some $$$ to help with fuel if needed

You’ve also jogged my memory with the Adv ride for this weekend Eagle
I have a route layout that will work in the time we have on Saturday but could depend on numbers so anyone keen for the Adv ride should let us know ASAP so a ride can be tailored to suit 
Cheers
Nick
Thats correct Jacko
Did you see my pm regarding the route ???Plenty of time to get the GPS loaded if needed,, if not I guess I will be joining the Trailriders for a run
I got your message mate and I think I replied :S I have a gps with route and mount ready to go for the Adv ride.

I will cart it up and back for you Eagle. It’s the least I can do after binning it on your inaugural ride last year
:blush:Will sort something out closer to the date.
On another note, I had the front wheel off the WR today and thought I had better check the wheel bearings while I had it there. Checked the left side and it was a bit notchy but when I checked the right side I couldn’t even turn it. :ohmy:
New wheel bearings all round this weekend me thinks.May pull the forks and shock out and get them serviced too ready for Coffs
