My plan is to take two days to ride over, with an early start on Thursday morning and an overnight at West Wyalong.  I'll be using this trip to try out my revised camping/touring setup, new tent, and bike packing method for my 2019 OzLap.    Chris wants me to come home via Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory to collect a few goodies.   :chocolate-box-smiley-emoticon

Sorry all we won't be able to make it,  was hoping the stars would align in our favor but not this time.  Hopefully we can get to another ride soon.  Have a great time and a lovely Christmas.  :hatwave

Dammit!  I reckon I'll be riding with the storm front all the way across.  I was expecting heat, but not 40mm of rain.   :fp    I've waterproofed my gloves and boots again, checked my rain gear for pinholes, and might go and get a Pinlock for my visor tomorrow.

 ride safe Pete, and don't worry if its torrential and you decide to turn back, there will be another ride opportunity to test out your pack etc.
You may be lucky if you leave ahead of the front and keep out pacing it. by that comment I don't mean racing it either..

40mm of rain would be very welcome Pete.
What ever happens, ride safe and see you Saturday.

Bad news people. I will not be able to make it.  :'( . I needed to get school work completed by Friday but now appears that it will take me all the way into Sunday night, if I spend all day Saturday on it also. Hope everyone has a great time and maybe we can catch up in January.

You have done well Pete, its been a very ordinary day here in Adelaide, so much so that when i look out the window at work im not feeling sorry for myself not being on the road. I guess the RDL is now well worn in and getting comfier every hour that passes. I hope the ride home is much more pleasant.
Cheers Mark

Got in to Walcha at 1645hrs to find out the whole town was in blackout. Dark rumbling skies were threatening as I looked for accommodation (silly me didn't book ahead). By 1715, the skies opened up and dumped a huge amount of rain and hail for about 10-15 minutes, then stopped as quickly as it started.  Got a room at Walcha Motel. Nice and cozy. Now, lets hope power comes back on and maybe I can have tea tonight. Any one else in Walcha tonight?

StinkyPete and I are in the Bendemeer Hotel for the night. A pleasant hotel with power and food! We’ll see you tomorrow morning.

I got home after a fun ride home leading Allen my way, saw a couple of HWP's and followed at distance a HWP BMW fluoro , Tamworth to Murrurundi where he was doing Radar in the 50 zone..
Allen & i had lunch at Penrith Panthers on the way past, I dont recommend the chicken Pad Tai;..   there was a seriuos accident just after The Oaks

Waved Al off at Picton/Menangle Rd.  my butt is sore,, need more meat on the bone. :butt :spank
Today I achieved 545 k per tank.  a reward for riding responsibly, :law :cop 8)

Glad to hear you made it home safely. Been wondering how you went.
Yes, it was a most enjoyable RTE despite the weather.  Must have been all the entertaining BS being thrown around.
Catch you on the next one.
