I managed to do a pre run of the posted course on Saturday.
I have to admit it took a lot longer than I expected as it was 319Km of which only 45Km was tar and several sections were fairly slow going.
Therefore I have come up with a second option apltly named “Soft C%ck Route” whick cuts out 120Km of dirt and repleces it with 46Km of tar making total of 245Km being 91Km Tar and 153Km dirt.

This option would be to go direct to Tyringham from Nymboida cutting out the Old Glen Innes road section.
Option 1 will mean less and shorter stops as well as keeping a pretty good pace to get us back at a reasonable hour.
Option 2 will mean we can take it a bit easier with more frequent stops ( read stops as beer stops ) and no real need to rush.
Intend to leave at 8.00am on Sat morning same as the single track riders and back at about 4.00 or 4.30pm which still gives us some daylight to play with if we have any problems.
The shop at Tyrringham say they will have fuel available for us as well as they are a bottle shop and do sandwiches. So if we go for option 1 this would be our lunch stop at 197Km from start.
Option 2 would put us at Ulong RSL Club for lunch with bistro meals but no fuel. Fuel will be available at Nana Glen 206Km from start. Possibly also at Lowanna 190 from start
Who will have a problem with Fuel because I know I can do either option without needing fuel and still cary 7.5L anyway so would be happy to share.
Now what I need to know from you who will be riding is do you prefer option 1 or 2.
Post up and let me know what you think.
