You might as well document it and make it an FR12Gold. You've already got the secretary on board- give her something to do besides hold on.

I should add we don't attend another bike organization's event to "steal their thunder" so we really encourage mingling with the other like minded riders....but feel free to promote your OzSTOC experiences ;-*

You don't need to do a FarRide to attend but if you would like to attend to see what LD riding is all about and chat with those in the know come along :thumbsup Just post below so I can give FarRiders a heads up on numbers for catering purposes if your not registering on the FarRiders site.......the accommodation and meal is at the White Albatross Caravan Park from 11:30am with traditionally some of us meeting for Breakfast next morning at Anchors Wharf in Urunga :eat

I'm registered for an FR1200G- if it goes pear shaped it will be an FR10, or maybe a g'day for lunch. >:()

There's a reasonable chance of up to 2 mm of rain.

Biggles, you might want to check the rules on that one, pretty sure if you registered for a specific ride and change your mind during the ride then it ends up as a DNF.
Title: Re: FarRide East #33 - Nambucca Hds
Post by: saaz on February 04, 2015, 01:20:52 PM: Correct, it is a pre registered ride, unlike IBA where if You have the right documentation you work out what rides you have done (within reason)

Yep, I know the rules. It will be a DNF, unless I change it before the cut-off tonight.

Sounds more like it's a case of get home with your points and wallet intact!

I deduce Operation Saturation is some kind of ramped-up NSW "road safety" campaign targeting motorcyclists.

Post by: Biggles on February 07, 2015, 09:49:05 PM: A couple of pix from my ride to Nambucca yesterday and today.

I had decided to give the run north a purpose, so planned on visiting the Boolboonda tunnel north of Mt Perry. Diesel had given me advice on getting there. It's 192 metres long, unlined and unsupported- just hand hewn from the rock.

(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Pixtor/Tunnel_zps503ac8ac.jpg)

Here's a general view of the bikes in Nambucca this morning. Others will have more pix- a good representation from OzSTOC there, as has been the case lately. Over 120 attendees!

Title: Re: FarRide East #33 - Nambucca Hds
Post by: saaz on February 09, 2015, 03:18:05 PM: No lap of the mountain this time, but I went through the mountains. Bylong Valley way, then Lithgo and on to Jenolan caves (all sealed, but very narrow in parts and tight narrow 15kph switchback turns you can't see around), back way towards Oberon then Shooters Hill road to Taralga, then across to Crookwell (only 3 kms of good surface open gravel road now, new bits are great surface 70 and 80kph corners), then Gunning, Gundaroo, cut across towards Murrumbateman then take the Nanima Road back home. 2600kms to do a 1600km there and back the shortest way.
