The successor of FarRiders, FarRoad, is running their inaugural Queensland ride on Saturday 20th May to Alpha. The NSW one to Moulamein ended last weekend.
If you have a hankering to go for a decent ride, here's a challenge.
You don't have to be a member- in fact you qualify for full membership by completing a 1000km ride in less than 24 hours. You just need a "Start Docket"- the servo receipt duly stamped with its location and date/time is perfect. You present that at the Alpha pub between 11:30 and 12:00 midday on that date and you get your official FR number. It's an honour system, but not many of us live closer to Alpha than 1000km!
