FarRide East #35 30 May 2015
« on: April 27, 2015, 06:06:32 PM »
I have just booked a room to stay overnight on 30 May. I know Spanner is down to go as well as JC. Anyone else?  I had better register and check the rider list. It was a great ride and time two years ago, so well worth doing for the views alone.

I'm registered, but planning to head south after lunch.  The last one at Eungella was my first FarRide and I wasn't aware of the photo afterwards and got going fairly quickly, missing out on it.  I was headed for Rocky having left there in the morning.  I've done a bit of FarRiding since and am used to covering a bit more distance.
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

I am trying my luck for this one. There has been a lot of great advice from Members of places to visit and get a feed that I was not aware of last time - would love to give some of them a go.


Went up for brekky on the water at Airlie Beach on the way home last time - TERRIFIC!


Here is my Ride Report from the adventure last time out...

I am registered for this one, and Teela is coming to get her Pillion FR number.

We will be going to Blackwater from toowoomba to have the night with Teela's Brother on Friday night, then it is up the road for check and lunch, and we will work out our plans from there, not totally sure yet

I have a plan (at least to get up there)

Canberra to Walgett on Thursday (680kms) to get within striking distance of a start. Then Walgett to St George (300kms) for a starting docket after 12 noon. Then on to Emerald (598kms)for the night. And a leisurely ride to Eungella in the morning (432kms).  Staying the night there.

Will plan a return leg on the way, have to be back by Tuesday night.
