FarRide West 24
« on: June 09, 2014, 07:19:32 PM »
I have completed my first ss1600 on the Cue FarRide West 24. Saturday morning start at 2am then to Tammin for a turnaround docket onto Northam, Wubin, Mount Magnet and Cue. If you go to Cue the meals are huge and good value. Well worth the ride. After a couple of hours chatting and talking Bull....T I then set off to Geraldton then home to Perth. 1680 GPS kms later I was again at home and in my warm bed. Now to go through all the dockets and other stuff before I send it off to be recognized. That really does not matter because I was there and did it.  :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin

A major service, is anything more than an oil and plug change.

Congratulations.  You'll soon be wanting to do IBA rides like your namesake over east (also in OzSTOC as well as FarRiders- Wombattle).
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

Well done Wombat   :wht11  I actually roughly know where all those places are, having looked them up after seeing another FarRide report.
