Make sure you have good rubber this ride if you start with 1/4 worn by the halfway point you could be like me today. Will make the pine forest section interesting

Cracker route

Weather looks promising for the weekend – looks like a couple of “cool” days ahead.

Pre run is done. Some small changes are required, day 1 is a big day. It is a day you don’t need to ride fast just ride pretty well all day :laugh: We arrived into Orange at 4ish, we didn’t leave Lithgow until 8.30am. We had a sit down breakfast at the Capertee servo / cafe (recommended breakfast and fuel stop) the last 70kms of our day one was in limp mode because of a mechanical concern so it’s doable. It would be best if groups get away from Lithgow between 8 – 8.30am.

Day 2 showed the need for new or newish tyres as I ran a well worn rear and required assistance once to get out of a clay rut :whistle: Breakfast was at the Two Fat Ladies cafe in Lucknow. It’s about an hour and a half from the start. You need to fuel at Lucknow and we can recommend the Two Fat Ladies cafe for breakfast, they like Capertee on day one know we are coming and will be ready to look after us.

There will be some more from the pre run with pictures posted later

Bigger than Ben Hur this ride now

I can only wait now for the reports and possible magazine writeups :whistle:
There`s also quite a few gun riders on the list,,,,

You guys up front will need an early start to stay any kind of distance ahead of the snarling biggies roaring up behind you :whistle: :woohoo:

Great work and good luck !!!
