Hi all,
A couple more Victorians coming to Mackay in August, booked our accommodation this am, sharing a cabin with Denis & Diane at The Big 4 so its nearing time to be getting excited.
Not yet set in concrete the duration of our trip, which route to get there or get back home, can sort that nearer the time.
Now to find & complete the registration form tonight before we head off tomorrow on a slow round about ride to the North East of Vic for the RTE this coming weekend at Omeo.
That will be a cool ride but I have been diligently practicing solo for 8 days between Auckland Gisborne, Napier and Danneverke & back in NZ.
A gazillion twisties & hills in pelting rain half of the time with huge logging trucks, livestock haulers and general freighters & the odd grey nomad as road companions.
All a bit of a challenge particularly when the trucks regularly added diesel & oil spills to the road surface along with sheets of stock poo & pee laced water on the corners.
And my c3 year old Series 3 Shark Evoline helmet which I love, does not have the anti fogging pinlock visor facility available. Even with "Catcrap" applied copiously it couldn't cope, a big mistake!!.
Anyway life is good.
We will see you all in Mackay.
Cheers
