FarRide East #27

[ST2UP]

Well it looks as though I am to have company on this FarRide #27......Pockey has decided the orange FarRiders cap will go with some particular part of her considerable wardrobe and is keen to earn the cap for herself.

We have a few 700 k days under our belt that were tolerable 2UP......so this shouldn't be an unreasonable challenge to knock over.

Now where to go ??......probably west young man, less little towns and 110 limits.

Urbenville looks ok for me as well, as does the FR to Mallacoota the weekend before.  Both are now on my calendar 

[ST2UP]

Saaz.....you da man, best get you onto a 1300 to share the k's between the 2 bikes. 

[saaz]

I only have 194,000kms on the ST11, so got a while to go before its too old...perhaps...  Anyway, I have Biloela (3,000kms there and back) and a Border run to do in August (5,000kms or so there and back). Bargara is 3,000kms or so there and back (this weekend), so have to think about tyres..hmmm..current new ones should do these rides...I hope

Have to update this, as in the next few weeks the old ST11 will be over 210,000kms. How time and distance flies... New tyres on, fork oil done etc etc.

I am down for a FR12 for #27.  Up the coast with a detour or so, get to Kempsey from Canberra on Friday afternoon then finish off the ride at Urbenville in the morning.

Mallacoota I am treating as a day ride, but as it is only 300kms there have to plan a bit more..I am thinking knocking over 700kms the day before, stay at home, then wander down to Mallacoota on the day, as only doing a FR10

We trying some creative roster juggling to knock over Pockey's first FR10 on #27.......see how we go

The brains trust in action!  I have to think about what I am doing after on the way back...hadn't thought of that as yet    head southish is the main plan...

I would but it's a clash for me.  There's a rally in Vic that I'm attending and planning an IBA ride to it.

Good luck and safe travels, Lets hope your chauffeur on this ride can keep it upright.

It's all very exciting  staying down along the coast that night and next day to sample the coastal sunshine and some more riding around the hinterland with some other ST's

56 riders registered for this FarRide RTE

56 riders registered for this FarRide RTE 

That's the problem now; there aren't many isolated destinations that can accommodate the numbers that the rising popularity of LD riding is attracting.

[saaz]

56 is not that uncommon.  Many turn up and keep on going.  It is all good.  Nambucca is probably bigger, but I don't keep count of numbers.

[Gatey]

Its not so long ago that registration opened and it hit the 63 mark by the end of the first day....then climbed to over 120 odd. With i think about 105 actually getting the job done.
