Rubbery, but have booked into Tanswell’s Commercial Hotel in Beechworth . . . I’d like to get there via Yea, Mansfield, Whittlesea, Milawa . . About 660ks for the day . . Route could change on weather . . Whether Chops n JohnnyYTED are up for it . . You want to ride along?

[Bodø]

I am trying to swap my monday shift for saturday.  If I am lucky and get monday off I'd have considered it (or part of it) depending on what direction you were going.  That said Yea is not in that direction.  If the person I asked says no to a shift swap then I'll return home.

Hi folks
Unfortunately I (& Julie) are a late withdrawal. I seem to have picked up a ripper lurgy which started in the head a couple of days ago and seemed nothing serious but has headed south and turned into a nasty bronchitis, with the Doc suggesting it probably wouldn't be a good idea to go ahead.
I hope every one has a great ride to and from the event and a terrific dinner.
Shiney side up and all that ... Mark

[Kev Murphy]

Sorry to hear that, chin up mate, and will catch up again soon.

[Bodø]

Sorry to hear that.  I guess I am going to be the lone South Australian representative there.

Sorry about that Bodo - If I wasn't taking Julie on the back I'd probably do the ride (albeit coating the inside of the visor like I did on the Byron return ride this year) but when you have another person's life in your hands you want to be at the top of your game, so to speak. On the upside - at least I can't infect anyone on the Harrow ride.

[Bodø]

Fair enough.  Unfortunately these things happen.

[John g]

I'm hoping I may be able to make this one.the stars are almost aligning,will know soon .who knew that one day I may also represent SA?? 

[Kev Murphy]

Hope you can make it, John. Leaving it a bit late for confirmation, tho?

[Bodø]

 

[Bodø]

I got monday off.  I'll probably ride to Mildura on sunday via White Cliffs.

Terry and Dallas are travelling the highways and byways without me today heading towards Harrow. 
I  after sheading more than 10ks in the last month. unfortuneatly have pneumonia and I have procrastinated right up to 4.30 am today. After a night of coughing and coughing some more, waking up aching in places Ive rarely ached before and then sitting with the stinkyiest foulest and runniest diarrhoea  , I doubt I would have been able to 'throw my leg over' without fear of a brown tidalwave.. This is my reason for pulling out of a 4day 3night RTE

Sorry to all those whom I would have loved to catch up with.. pneumonia is a nasty sneaky illness that can have severve consequences and I'm really not ready to explore them..  Ride safe everyone and enjoy Harrow o/n , Drink sensibly and enjoy the banter and such..      I shall stay home wrapped in cotton wool and will take the full course of horse tablet sized antibiotic pills with the FIRST' mouthful of food followed by a complete meal,, as per instruction, twice daily, and hopefully I'll be ride ready before the new year.

[Kev Murphy]

Take care of yourself, number one first and always. Will catch up with you again soon.

[Jdbiker]

Sorry to hear Johnny 😢, wishing you a quick recovery. You will be missed at Harrow..get well soon 👍🤓

[Bodø]

Sory to hear that Johnny.  Hope you recover soon.

[ppopeye]

Stay warm Johnny and hope you recover soon.

Crikey!  No resilience west of the VIC border.  Stay safe, and well guys, see you at a future event.

Waaaaaaay too much info there Johnny, a simple I'm crook would suffice.   In the meantime, stay safe, and well guy, and see you at a future event.

And now I'll turn off the lap top before any other withdrawals.
