Been a big week, aye Terry?

Yeah, Swan Hill has been bantered around previously.  I'll check with our SA colleagues.  Who speaks for NSW?

Swan Hill sound like a good spot for a Tri-State.   Pick a date and post it, and we can adjust our programs to suit.   :thumbsup

Thanks for the prompt response and the chat earlier today.

Summing up today's chat, the following months are not favoured:
  • May 23 - already arranged
  • June 23 - too soon
  • July - too cold - 300km to 500km with single digit degree riding
  • Aug 23 - as above
  • Sep 23 - too close to big rides to and from Mudgee
  • Oct 23 - Nat Meet Mudgee
  • Nov 23 - same as Sep
  • Dec 23 - too close to Xmas
  • Jan 24 - too hot
  • Feb 24 - as above
  • Apr 24 - too many other holidays, end of Easter, School Holidays, ANZAC Day - too busy

The winner is Mar 2024 and with Mon 11 Mar - Canberra Day ACT, Eight Hours Day, Labour Day VIC, Adelaide Cup Day SA, the long weekend is looking pretty good.

Would've liked to discuss this in PM's with the VIC power brokers, Russ and Garry (but someone's InBox is always full), so it's open for discussion in the open forum.

So save-the-date, and unless there is a compelling reason against a Tri-Stater (others welcome) to Swan Hill for Sat 9 March 2024, put to me be COB tomorrow, I'll start another dedicated thread.

Although only 440km to and from (the direct route), this is getting to my comfortable daily limit, so there'll be an overnight stop at Inglewood or Wycheproof on the way and a stay at a Royal Hotel - gotta get the Royal Tour 2024 back on track.

Any VIC's (or others) interested, post here as well.

Yikes!

Below is the list of all the 2024 RTE links to make it nice and easy to find when the next RTE is throughout the year ... Shiney


Our QLD colleagues are well organised, but we are not far behind.  A DRAFT 2024 VIC RTE has been prepared, it will be discussed and hopefully finalised at our Kyneton RTE - http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=15235.0

The only 2024 RTE with a set date and destination is 11 May 2024 at Balranald - http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=15267.0

And for anyone who is not aware of the NatRally 2024 some details are here: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=15194.0

The 2024 VIC RTE Schedule - AKA the 2024 VIC Royal Tour
« Reply #68 on: November 21, 2023, 12:21:24 PM »
Feast your eyes, drool all over the laptop, take a deep breath and an extra blood pressure pill, whatever ...... and Save-the-Dates.

The 2024 VIC RTE Schedule, hereafter to be officially known as the 2024 VIC Royal Tour is presented below.



Although arranged by OzSTOC Victoria, members from outside VIC are welcome, encouraged to attend.  Some of this is subject to change (venues have not been booked so far ahead), but there won't be a need to change dates, so lock 'em in.

Details re. per event (err, leg of the Tour), will be posted a month or two prior in a specific thread. 

Any questions to Gary (ppopeye) Russell (Rustynutz) or me.

Balranald - already booked.

Sebastopol - long weekend here so more than like I can make it and be home in time for work on tuesday, even if venue changes.

Snake Valley - although my suggestion sunday might be tricky (no monday public holiday like Sebastopol).

Will be a lunch.  What, around 6 hour ride for you?  Would need to have the alarm on a week-day setting.

Annual leave booked for friday september 13th and monday 16th of december so if you don't change the dates I'll be up for both Portland and Snake Valley.  If the venues change I'll go with the flow.
