Happy to meet   I will be coming from Enfield so we could meet at crafers BP.   It would be an easy 1.5 hour ride plus stop overs, bakery, fuel, call of nature.   To be there around 12.30 we could meet at 10ish.

Hope they have something I can eat. Having a date with the dentist Thursday morning for a tooth extraction or two. Have to be careful of what I eat for a few days.

Given the inclement weather forecast, I may be down to one attending (we'll decide on the day). If so I reckon I'll bring the new addition to the family (Yamaha MT03). It's serious fun in the hills.

Hoping to get a good long ride to get there, considering I'm the closest to Meningie. Bones of the route should be over 400ks round trip.

When I picked bike up from Meningie freeway to MB _ Tailem then down fairly straight forward   would have gone thru Wellington etc but adds time something chronic

Think that this may be my route there and back, subject to last minute change and variation due to conditions.

Me and Dukes Highway don't get on, and after yesterday, I'll add Sturt Highway.

I'd check if I were you because I think the Narrung Ferry is currently closed.

Back on line, they needed to get a crane in to shift a truck that didn't quite make it.

Not sure. Just going by local news reports. Didn't line up the ramp properly? On leave, so not following the lower Murray news at the moment, so haven't got the updates.

Forecast is for less than 1mm for Saturday at Meningie. More like a passing shower or two than non stop rain.

We will be going, but will probably ride our own route, rather than meeting at Crafers.  See ya there......    :hatwave

Now coming on my own as Heather isn't quite up to it. Minor medical issue which might get upset a little doing a 700km round trip on the bike.

Thinking of returning via the Narrung ferry or if I have enough time on the way there.
