This is not an organised ride, I am going on another two day navigation ride this one a little over 800km starting in Mittagong south of Sydney finishing in Wisemans Ferry. Navigation is meaning full GPS ride, yes if you want to come must have your own GPS. You need a GPS because like a map from a shop you can follow it if you want. The route will be loaded on your GPS at the Mittagong Hotel on the 15th Friday night only (no GPSs will be loaded Saturday morning I will be long gone) the route I believe will be suitable for all bikes if ridden to the conditions but thats your choice when you get to all if any obstacles. The route I am planning to ride has plenty to see, and will be a cracker if you choose to follow it like a map.
You need a 300km minimum fuel range just in case (remember a fuel bladder or the likes can be used to extend your range) and must have your own GPS that can have a map loaded on it. No 300km fuel range, no GPS, no ride. There is no support vehicle, no cornermen, no sweeps. People will be required to ride in at least pairs for safety sake. No solo riders this time, I will not be looking for or worrying about someone missing on their own. This time at least pairs or more so they would know if their buddy is missing or down its simple for putting this together its the only thing I ask.
This ride will have an overnight stay at Woodstock (Central west NSW) well thats where I am staying. The Royal Hotel offers accommodation and they may let you camp in the back yard should you desire. I reckon camping gear is a must should you for whatever reason not make the overnight stay or continue past it on day one.
This is not a race or a show of how big you think your dick is its not anything, just me riding and sharing a map as such, my map or where I am going finishes at Wisemans Ferry Pub arvo of the 17th.
Numbers won’t be limited it isn’t an organised ride in anyway shape or form I am offering you a route (like a map) and recommendations (like someone asking out a car window) as to distances between fuel and accommodation etc. Fuel distances later

I would like to be put on the list of starters too please TB.

A couple of things may be stopping me though,one I dont have a GPS as yet and two I wouldnt know how to use it even if I did. :huh: :laugh:
With the ride being six or seven weeks away I would hope I can have this situation sorted.

Just booked my room at the Royal in Woodstock.

If anyone is intersted, they have 3 x rooms left with 2 king singles in each ($40/night) and 2 x family doubles that sleep 6 in each(didn’t get the price on these).

He also has plenty of space for swags in the beergarden and a little bit of space to lock up half a dozen bikes if required.

Ace
