2nd-3rd May 2020 - SA/NT Overnight RTE Kulgera NT - CANCELLED

[STroppy]

I think that Chops is a non-starter.

[Brookester]

Ride plan should I get time to attend:
Friday 1st - Cloncurry to Devils Marbles
Saturday 2nd - Devils Marbles to Kulgera
Sunday 3rd - Kulgera to Devils Marbles
Monday 4th - Devils Marbles to Cloncurry
Getting too old for big ride days

I'll be somewhat annoyed if this gets cancelled.

Me to     If it happens we can maybe move it to Coober Pedy
I am changing plans and are going to go south to attend a rte (NSW or VIC not sure which one )  so if border gets closed
I will still be able to catch up with some members

It is what it is.  Sad to say I have now cancelled my Kulgera accommodation.  I'll leave Coober Pedy for the time being pending what other choose to do.

[Jdbiker]

Will still make it to Coober Pedy circumstances permitting 

[STroppy]

The only booking I have made is for Kulgera, no payment made, so I will cancel that and maybe try and get to some other rides.

[WendyL]

What if we camp at the border rest stop???

[Bodø]

My bike doesn't carry enough fuel to make a return trip from Marla.

Bugger. It was a thought. Although I would have needed to male another border crossing anyway so I guess I’m out anyway 😢

[Bodø]

Can an ST handle the Strezleki track?

As Shillas has posted, NT has closed it's borders, and as a consequence...
 the Kulgera RTE on the 2nd May is now cancelled.
Those who have booked acccomodation at Kulgera will need to cancell.
There is some discussion of a gathering at Coober Pedy instead, but I suggest we wait and see how the pandemic crisis plays out before making a decision.
