@ Bodalin, WA with 333 km to Scarborough, WA @ approx. 11:00 NSW time. Well ahead of 48 hours.

Don't know if your times are right gadget??? Just coming into Kellerberrin and it's midnight NSW....they should make it with about an hour to spare still & it's a 50CC not 48

Rides such as this are posted in a restricted section on ~~Far-riders~~ FarRiders not available to the general public, I believe we are doing a disservice to the riders attempting these rides by posting on our forum, ~~far-riders~~ FarRiders amongst us have access, those who are not ~~far-riders~~ FarRiders do not need to know.

Skidoo is a member of this forum and also is happy to share his spots even on Facebook. He is actually doing IBA rides so I don't think it is exclusively FarRiders.

I take the view that the more eyes monitoring progress, the more safe the participant. The sooner a problem is noticed, the singer help can be organised.

Serious question:

Can someone please explain what the big secret is?

I enjoy following their progress

ST2UP · « **Reply #39 on:** March 16, 2016, 06:49:39 AM »

So just to confirm while the riders who undertook this ride are all members of FarRiders (and 3 are members of OzSTOC) this ride is an IBA certified ride and has no connection to FarRiders just as it has none to OzSTOC. Naturally there are members of both organizations who have a genuine interest in serious LD riding.

The public SPOT profile of Skidooo has been posted on here (and I only presume FarRiders) with the permission of the IBA Managment team and the rider.

There is a long winded rationale behind all of this

But the abbreviated version is this......IBA riding at this level seeking certification for currently certified rides or creating new ones to be certified by the IBA falls into the realms of extreme sports......and as an extreme athlete they don't give up their game plan

Trust me when I say there are LD riders all over the country and beyond salivating over their keyboards as this unfolds

Cheers

Skidoo has reported on FB that he picked up puncture due to an animal bone yesterday and repaired it.

Today the repair is failing, so he is limping into Darwin to hopefully get a new tyre.

WendyL · « **Reply #42 on:** March 16, 2016, 09:13:57 AM »

Replacement tyre organised for tomorrow morning. Home cooked meal, comfy beds, hot showers and air con will all be waiting for them when they get here.

Good onya W! Great to know you are keeping the North safe for those chucking a lap!

WendyL · « **Reply #44 on:** March 16, 2016, 10:56:03 AM »

Skidooo just called from Timber Creek. He has managed to find a tyre in Katherine so will get that fitted this afternoon before continuing on to Darwin.

Another consideration in the LR community is reluctance to broadcast riding activity that might be viewed by interested Authorities.

Unplanned U-turn and detour. Fatal motorcycle accident south of Adelaide River, I skipped a few heartbeats between hearing of the crash and checking the SPOT link

Skidooo and Abe are still moving, now on the scenic route around Adelaide River. On target for a 5pm(ish) arrival into Darwin

Interesting comment Brian, the rides being attempted are for IBA certification. More information regarding the rides can be found on the IBA Australia forum which has public viewing. I see no disservice to the riders whatsoever, what I do see is some riders who are sharing their experience with the LDRiding community and I think that is fantastic. As someone mentioned three of these riders are OzSTOC and IBA members, they are more than likely members of other groups as well who could also be posting up information too. cheers

No big secret, Karl has shared his link for the benefit of others interested in his riding

Picked up a couple of smelly New South Welshmen this afternoon. They're showered, fed, clothes washed and tucked up in bed for a nap.
