The overnight stay on the Saturday night will be at Orange.

Because of the large number of riders we cant all fit in the one establishment and will need to spread around town a little as such.

Important tip: To have your maps for Sunday loaded you will need to come to the Hotel Orange at the cnr of Summer and Peisley Streets (324 Summer street) on Saturday evening between 6 and 9pm. Amy, Pete and I will be loading GPSs during that time, you will be able to grab yourself dinner and a drink and share some stories of your days adventure with the other riders. You will also be able to get the hints and riddles to locate the start for the next morning! All will be explained at the riders briefing on Friday night at the Commercial Hotel Motel Lithgow at 9pm

Get them to join and post their indentions then at least they are on the list when others drop out. Going on past experience more will drop out. If you don’t want the spot anymore let me know

Those of us staying at the Hotel Orange just had our accommodation canned :ohmy: they have moved us to a better location for the same cost I will notify anyone affected by this change.

We will still be loading GPSs at Hotel Orange at the cnr of summer and Peisley Streets (324 Summer Street) on Saturday evening. They know we are coming for that and I have told them most will probably have dinner as well.

Route information

The route has been finalised final pre-run pending so it is subject to change. A few route statistics for your reading pleasure

Day 1 – 467kms

Fuel stop distances

Start to fuel 1 – 70kms Café at this location, recommend breakfast here (Café is a bike friendly establishment)
Fuel 1 to fuel 2 – 148kms (large town that has most things)
Fuel 2 to fuel 3 – 90kms (large town that has most things)
Fuel 3 to Finish – 152kms Orange, would suggest fuelling when you get in, better than running around next morning

Day 2 – 383kms

Start to fuel 1 – 72kms Café across the road called “Two Fat Ladies good feed, they will discount for OBT members that weekend can recommend the breakfast there.
Fuel 1 to fuel 2 – 185kms Major service station with fast food
Fuel 2 to finish – 122kms

There are a few private property sections that due respect will need to be shown if we are ever to return. All gates are to be left as found but as a backup, if a yellow ribbon is tied on a gate make sure it is shut please. When passing houses in close proximity to the road please slow down, dust and kids are our concern. Same with all stock (that’s cows, sheep, horses, elephants, goats etc. for our city cousins) please slow down for your safety and theirs. Watch out for wildlife, kangaroos are running rampant at the moment.
As with any public road keep left, keep an eye out for your ride partner / partners .No bikes to leave the start both days before 8.00am, this is only to give the lead riders enough of a head start should they be needing to put diversions in because of fallen trees or whatever. We have had to put detours in on all previous Navigation rides because of fallen trees, creek depths and property closures.

Make sure you have a tube (a front will go in both to get you going but carrying a front and rear is better) two tyre levers and a way to pump the tyre up. Tools required to remove both wheels, a spark plug and a plug spanner to fit it. There are no sweep riders as such but there are always a few experienced riders that seem to be last out of bed and last in.

As usual all of the above is subject to change right up to and including during your ride. The riders briefings after the GPSs have been loaded will be at 9pm both nights. These are most important and all riders are expected to be there. Friday night at the Commercial Hotel Motel Lithgow and Saturday night at the Hotel Orange at the cnr of Summer and Peisley Streets (324 Summer street) on Saturday evening.

I will be holding a brief GPS school on Friday afternoon between 5 & 6pm at the back of the Commercial Hotel Motel Lithgow.

Any questions please ask here or there

TB,
I am comming on the ride with with the Old Guy and Dave G. Myself and Dave G will be riding GS1200 ‘s and old Guy is riding a 940KTM.
Will the route be suitable for these bikes. Dave G and myself ride dirt bikes and the old guy has done a lot of off road riding so we are not new to the dirt but the larger bikes do have there limitations.

[jim cadyMember]

Not to much longer to wait :pinch:

Looking forward to it,starting to get excited now :woohoo:

Becomes more of a reality seeing it in print,thanks for posting it TB

Any idea roughly what time you would expect us to finnish up on day 2 at Lithgow

Cheers James
