What is the best container for carrying extra fuel; Coke, Sprite or Fanta?

I am going to use an empty 1ltr oil bottle.
I have a spare if you need it

Seeing Mick hasn’t mentioned the weather and I’m not riding I’ll mention it. Its 60% chance of 1-5mm for Saturday and 20% chance of less than 1mm for Sunday, 😆

[GregMember]

Just wait re fuel containers etc, with regards to fuel there will be a change to the distance between day two fuel stops they wont be as far due to a few changes announced later in the week. We rode some bloody huge hills today (wont be in to route) steeper than I thought possible on a Tenere a few times but they climb :ohmy: one beat us but, causing a massive change to the route. Just looking the maps now the route we were forced to try (the steep hills) , was caused by the new nature reserve that was the original route.

Still got two steep hills in the route, you will be ok if your take our time

Crash and I are still out with more to do tomorrow, the King has returned to work with the minions :laugh:

Much more later

Back on the ride subject,
I will be sending off the Breakfast list tomorrow arvo (as it is Monday 12th) so Shirl can sort out the catering.

Please get your pm`s in to me by 3pm tomorrow if interested in a locked in Breakfast, otherwise there may be no food for you if you decide on the day you are hungry :whistle: 😆

24 names on the list as it stands today

Chuck,

Just wondering if the same requirements for a feed are in on Sunday? Bring your own or perish at the bottom of the Valley of doom?

Thanks
Johnny

I’m praying to the weather God’s for a little rain on Friday. Even a bit on Sat would be OK. just to keep the dust down.

Tractor & I went for a “shakedown ride” on Sat in the Chichester State Forest ( Barrington Tops area = between Dungog & Gloucester ) I know it’s not where we’ll be riding on Nav ride, but it’s not that far away either.

The dust was shocking, that fine powdery crap that hangs in the air. TB has mentioned about freshly graded roads being slippery. Same was true on our ride. The Tenere is not exactly a rocketship, but was spinning up everywhere – really hard to get grip and drive – FUN though :cheer:

Hurry up Friday arv !!

Cheers,

Second the fun bit.

Can’t wait for Friday.

Ironed out some of the teething problems with the 640 mainly induced by the previous owner (and some by me, the heated grips now turn off). She didn’t miss a bit (apparently much to the surprise of a near future corider )

She is raring to go. :woohoo:

Massey, you’ll be fine. :dry:

If Bucky’s Commodore and trailer combo can’t get to you, I’ve got a Prado and trailer combo to rescue your ORANGE arse… eventually you too will sense in riding under the tuning fork blue banner .

You’re used to the dust Bucky, you’ll be right!

Four sleeps to go. :woohoo:
