Silverton, Oodnadatta, SA ride report 2011

[Dwayne OMember]

Headed back to Marree by the looks of it,,,,
Maybe didn`t like the native wildlife at Lake Eyre,,, or it it wetter than you know what out there further along the Odd Track :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Marree has a pub for sure , Thats likely to be it :laugh:

Also noticed Boulders Spot is still not working,, displays him to be a day behind, nothing logged today :whistle:
Lucky they have so mant Spots on the trip hey ….

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

Maybe they have decided to do the Birdsville track, looks to be fair bit of rain further west and heading East. Might be trying to get to Birdsvile before the rain closes the road.

[Dwayne OMember]

Yep, Some weird weather patterns out there again :S
Glad its them & not me trying to dodge it if thats the case :whistle:

All part of the Adventure they say :laugh:
I was talkng to my old man the other day about their trip,,, he reckoned it would be touch & go and he has travelled all those roads many times in recent years, he has been stuck as well before and escaped a few times in the nick of time so to speak, & it is no fun apparently :silly:

Good Luck to them I reckon

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

Looks like they have set up camp again for the night, maybe they just wanted to see Lake Eyre, it is supposed to be quite full for the first time in ages. :unsure:

[Mick DMember]

Just got a REVERSE CHARGE call from TB. :ohmy: $4.50 a minute.

They are headed north to Birdsville and are making a b-line for the pub.

[Dwayne OMember]

looks like the Corner is back on the agenda :laugh:
Not far from it right now,,, pity Nick had so much trouble getting the shirts re-printed to say OOODNADATTA :laugh:

Watching progress with interest :whistle:

TB & Nick at Birdsville Pub suckin’ down cool ones. Had a great day. Boulder had the most monumental tank slapper through a causeway at 100kph+, but rode it out! I think Eags is onto something, will probably head South East towards the original target tomorrow.

[Dwayne OMember]

So they have made the Birdsville Pub safely :woohoo:
Whats the odds on a run west to the Corner tomorrow ?????

They will surely have to give it a crack if the conditions are looking ok (even marginal) :dry: :unsure: :huh: :silly: :whistle:

Waching watching ,,,,,

Boulders Spot is still on the blink :S :S :S

As of a 10 minutes ago, Fish & DJ hadn’t made it to Birdsville………however, apparently, Fish had a dent in his rim that you can see a gap between the rim and the tube/tyre. This happened hours ago. He & DJ were limping in until the tyre decided to shred like that tyre in the Bathurst race yesterday. So, DJ has just riden in to Birdsville and a couple of them are riding back out to fix/ recover Fish and his bike. Stay tuned.

[Dwayne OMember]

I gather Dejay is back in Birdsville as he sent a custom messgae at 8.40
Sounds like they got the adventure they were after today :whistle:

Keep us in the loop Crash

[Nick JacksonMember]
