Where in for this ride on the 24th May to western NSW :runyay even know of a certain OzSTOC fresh faced FarVirgin having his arm twisted to have a go at this one, should be fully Sick man :popcorn
Pockey :wink1

Could be tempted to go see the Lake . . . Need to work out an interesting route . . .
-
The shortest route is an FR12 for me. Saves having to go out around the block like I did for Nambucca.

Registration is now open, 5 OzSTOC members registered for the ride so far :like

With Honda STs being the ideal weapon, it just seems the obvious thing to do, really.
The "also rans" are the Kwaka 1400, the Feejer, the Super Tenere and, of course, another Honda, the Wing.

Might try to get my own Orange cap on this one.

I am deciding whether to make it a day ride, just depends on what else comes up. The distance from Canberra is pretty well perfect for that.
Then again, just having looked at my ride calendar I could go from Lake Cargellico straight to the Victoria overnight RTE in Tungemah - now that would work in nicely :runyay
We best bring the OzSTOC flag for a sneaky picture :whistle

Forgot to add, I'm meeting Sicman at Yass (first one for Sicman) for this journey. :thumb
-
I thought about heading sort of that direction but I detest riding on the Highway, it bores the crap outta me.
Anyway's long time before that date comes around so who knows, might even end up doing the snowy route to get there. Not :-(((
-
There's the FarRally before Cargelligo. That should be a hoot! I'll be happy to be a Finisher, considering the talent in the competition.

Abe
your route E to F is a dirt road. Nothing wrong with dirt roads but you might not like it.
Across the river is all tar through Condoblin, kiacto and Euabalong west, euabalong and in.
The road south of your route is tar and quite fast going.
-
:dred11
I had to check if I'd regiSTered for FR#29,, so I scrolled way down the bottom of the liST.... arhhh :runyay there I is. :clap ++
I have this route nicknamed "BOOBIES" , if I finish at check=in FR#29.. http://goo.gl/maps/TwNYE (http://goo.gl/maps/TwNYE)
I'll work on a round-trip route and decide soon.
Abe your route is exactly 1000k's you need to add a few extra's for discrepancy
All going well look forward to seeing all there.. :hatwave
-
Good luck and safe riding this weekend, I will not be attending now, If anyone is looking for me I will be in my room behind the door sulking :'(
-
:'( :dred11
I have pulled out of FR#29 :'( as I'm saving myself for the following FR to Cooroy. I'm just not up to 2 FarRides a week apart. :grin FR#30 to Cooroy will take me back to old stomping grounds and the opportunity to catch up with friends in the area, before heading back home a week later..
Have a safe ride everyone, sorry to drop the ST numbers, hope to catch up at Cooroy. :thumbs

Thanks for that Gatey, I must confess I just saw your post. :thumbs
I have changed the route now, so no dirt.
Hopefully Sicman is feeling better and is still going, or I'll do plan "B"

The HEMA maps (either the Australia handy atlas or motorcycle version) are pretty good for displaying road surfaces. The Handy atlas has more details than the motorcycle version.
I had better pack a few things and get going shortly. See you there, or maybe before as my route crosses over a few others. I will overnight it in Hay and finish the FR10 at Lake Cargellico.

Doesn't matter. If you're in NT, SA or WA, then you have to adjust to midday EST. :p

Kicked off at home just after 1200......833k's later in West Wylong just after 9:30, finish off tomorrow for check in :grin
-
Well this little black duck is no longer a FarRiders virgin with a shiny new FR10 under the belt :hatwave. You just cant beat a good :slvr13 It was a great weekend of riding, in all sorts of weather with some great friends, as usual, and a nice array of food prepared by PitSTop :beer :eat :eat :beer a certain couple of young fellas and ladies ended up in food comas :grin
-
Congratulations to all that broke there far ride virginity this time round. Still not impressed I couldn't make it.

Home 6:45 pm yesterday after departing at 4:00am. 2511 kays for the trip.
It was a great weekend, except for my decision to have a look at the Tenterfield to Woodenbong Mt Lindsay "Highway" for a change from the boring Newell. I did it in 1974 and it was desperately bad then. I knew it had been sealed- except for about 4 kays before the Stanthorpe turn-off and 10 kays further on. I can do a bit of dirt, but this was corrugated about 3" deep and 8" pitch, so it shook the stuffing out of the bike. I've got a few things to fix.
I'd read how bad the Legume to Urbenville section was, and now know firsthand.
The clincher came on the Beaudesert road traffic lights. Some are in the 80 kph zone and I thought I had time on the long amber, but got a flash in the mirrors, so apparently I timed it badly. :fp

Bugga :crazy

And a very tranquil lake it was, just lovely :eek

Congrats guys :hatwave

It was a good ride. Pity I had to dash off to the Tungemah RTE early but it was worth it. I saw most people for longer later on anyway, just a bit further North.
