OBT I know how you feel.I want to forget my birthday to these days.

Toes we decided to make it a Christmas / Birthday this year because of many reasons these included event location problems, assistance, rides on etc. We choose November because people have family commitments in December. I spoke with people and we attempted to keep major events clear in November but the Nundle ride was put in November because it was the only time the van park was free I am told. There is no point having two major rides in the same month, travel distances and leave passes become a drama for us all. The guys didn’t want to do it in Nundle at the same time, so we will have to push it back again. Then people complain it is too hot to ride so further back we go. We need to raise some money to keep this site free if it’s going yo keep going, it will happen now next year I hope.
It is now what it is, having organised and enjoyed every one I have been disappointed it hasn’t happened this year.

To those that have offered help, thanks we will need help when we get a date next year

Its a pushy GPS, don’t think it can take topo maps, also I am not sure on its waypoint capability. Is it a ebay special Protty?
Maybe you can borrow / hire Krams or someones not going

I am the guy loading the maps, have loaded hundreds may a thousand GPSs now and my first questions are

What is a Edge 705?

How many waypoints can it store?

Can it be hard wired?

Has it got a ram mount?

Is the screen big enough to see on the fly?

I just thought, umm I maybe better looking the answers up myself :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I will get back to you :blink:

Just an up date CS! Mick had a torn his achilles at that point. Not completely but all almost, it is in a cast toes down hoping it will retake but ummmm. Visited him a couple of times last week he is whinging so that’s a good sign he is ok :laugh: if it doesn’t retake he will need it operated on and he will be out for :ohmy:
Good read, are you related to Usi?
