SA RTE Ideas for 2019
« on: September 13, 2018, 05:36:25 PM »
That time of the year again; time to dust of the cobwebs and offers some ideas for next year.

We already have a Robe overnighter in conjunction with Vic. With Tasmania in Mid November maybe earlier in the year; maybe about March/April

A some from last year to start it off.

Coorong Cafe at Sugars Beach on Hindmarsh Island.   https://www.facebook.com/coorongcafe/ - mid Dec or Feb
The South Oz Middleton Tavern: https://www.middletontavern.com.au/
Caudo Vineyard at Cadell https://caudovineyard.com.au/

Something Wildfireangle said at the Melrose RTE that appealed to me was Mildura.  I thought that was a good choice before you reminded us that it was in Victoria.  I think it'd be a great place for a tri-state o/n maybe in 2020.  I was part disappointed we lost the Robe o/n to Harrow but would certainly look forward to going to Robe in march.

The Royal Exchange in Kadina

Possibly somethere near Loxton or Berri.

A Saturday Evening Summer Ride to the Coorong Cafe on Hindmarsh Island would be something different.    See https://www.facebook.com/coorongcafe/
Close to the city is Cudlee Cafe, where there's good food and great roads.  It's a mecca for motorcyclists and cyclists on the weekends.   See  http://thecudleecafe.com.au/
Stone Hut Bakery in the mid north.   See  https://www.facebook.com/Stone-Hut-Bakery-147217135692993/
What's at Kapunda?  I know there is at least one good bakery.
Schedule Port Broughton again, which is a great location.

Repeat some of our better attended RTE's such as Overland Corner Hotel, Pretoria Hotel Mannum, Rawnsley Park (overnight) and Balranald (overnight)

Gaining momentum already!  The Middleton Rally went very well in 2013 and Pete's suggestions look likely to up the ante on that event.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Looks a good list, but the Cudlee Creek one is more of a WTE for me  :grin

I've made a mistake in my suggestions.

My recommendation is for the Pretoria Hotel at Mannum, the one we've been to before, and not the Mannum Hotel.

        My suggestion is a group barbie at Morgan.Just next to the ferry are public barbques and a gazebo that we could use to cook our own lunch. A bakery up the road for those who don't feel in the mood to be a master chef .maybe a autumn event.( morning tea at Walkers Flat? ).

I like this one - lots of space. It's also across the road from the caravan park for those who may wish to stay longer.

Pretoria Hotel Mannum

I just logged on with the intention of recommending this place to see Pete has beaten me to it.  I am here with the family this weekend and can highly recommend this place on today's outing.  Mrs. Bodo is also very impressed.

There doesn't seem to be any more offerings being put up so over the next week I'll put forward a draft calendar for next year;

Robe will be in for certain and maybe another Balranald tri-state if we can get a suitable date

Looking at an event about every six weeks subject to avoiding school holidays and long weekends.

The South Oz Middleton Tavern: https://www.middletontavern.com.au/
Caudo Vineyard at Cadell https://caudovineyard.com.au/

Cudlee Café   http://thecudleecafe.com.au/
Stone Hut Bakery in the mid north. https://www.facebook.com/Stone-Hut-Bakery-147217135692993/
Port Broughton Hotel https://www.facebook.com/PortBroughtonHotel

As always with me it is roster pending, but should hope to make most of those.  The only one I can confirm is the National Rally in Taswegia.

Mildura is an option but it's more of a Vic option.

I'm looking at repeating last years "Not the National Rally" RTE again and one of the day rides will get moved free up a space for maybe Balranald if we can get some interest up.

When I suggested it I was thinking of it as a tri-state one much like Balranald.
