I enjoyed the Rally a lot, quietly but I did enjoy it. It was much hotter then I am used to . . What can you expect from a Canberran . . But it was hot from the moment we left home all the way to Perth and while we were in Perth, it started to cool down for the return journey.
The great guys from WA did a great job with all aspects of the Rally . . I liked the Big4 Park . Great cabin . . Expensive but I expected that, but I would stay there again. The breakfasts were good value and tasty. The Sat nite meal and presentations went well and Brian did a terrific job as busman . . Much appreciated.
I didn't make the Friday ride as my bike interface needed some recovery time, but would loved to have gone on the ride . . Biggles must have a hard ass . . As he made the ride with very little break out of the saddle . . Maybe weight on the interface has something to do with it. The traffic could be of concern but isn't it always.
I enjoyed the games, a little put off by the obvious cheating . . 😊 . . . Tried our best but there were some way better cheaters competitors on the day! Great fun, good venue, loved the museum.
Also great to catch up with so many of you again and meet other members of OzSTOC . . all great people and very friendly . . Douglas and Shiney kept us interested in changing their respective choices of transport . . I think Carol ended up with a good ride.
Thanks again to Wombat, Pezz, Yorkie, WAG and the all the other WA guys n gals who organised, cooked and made us welcome. Also a big thanks to STinkyPete for all his efforts and help for the rally and also to Popeye and Pete for raiding some Pizza place to feed the masses at their cabin on the Sunday night.
I arrived home after a week n a half, still butt sore, and vowing not to make an 8th crossing of the Nullabor . . But looking forward to Robe and Woolli and some other RTE's in between.
