Looks like no more than a 6% chance of rain, mostly before midday Pete. We may be lucky :-)

I hope we're lucky.  We had the 2013 National Rally lunch at the Greenman Inn .  It was fine when we arrived, poured with rain while we were at lunch, and fined up around the time we left.  Was the Son-in-Law still riding pillion with you?  In any case, we'll see  you there if we don't flash past on the way.

I still have to check on which roads to use as I would have run down from Gawler via Kersbrook to Gumeracha, Lobethal etc.

[Chopper Bob]

Sorry Pete, Loris and I can't make it. We just realized the run is the same day as "Sounds by the River" at Mannum and we have tickets. We look forward to catching up next time.
Cheers

Most of the roads are now open, you could do Angaston, Mt Pleasant, Birdwood, Mt Torrens, on to Charleston, Balhanah, Handorf,  Echunga, Meadows, Bull creek rd to Ashbourne. I noticed you said you were staying at Strath, it's a lovely ride from Ashbourne to Strath.

I had a look at that today and decided on Gawler to Williamstown via Cockatoo Valley, Birdwood to Strathalbyn via Mount Barker or somewhere around there.

Are we meeting anywhere to ride up together or are we just making out own way there.

I suggest meeting at the Greenman Inn at Ashbourne at the appointed time.   

[bolshie]

Sorry for not getting back sooner Pete. Ben will be coming with me. We're looking forward to the ride, and lunch :-)

[StinkyPete]

Forecast is for 23 and mostly sunny, which is perfect riding weather.  Chris and I will see you there at 12.30pm.   Bring your wallets, 'cause I'll have some OzSTOC shop items such as hats, badges, stickers and stubby holders.

Pete, I'm really sorry, but we've had my father in law in hospital overnight and I'm not going to make it today. Really sorry about the late notice. I tried to call the pub but no answer so far.
Need to try again next time. 

[StinkyPete]

Thanks for letting us know Bolshie, and there's no need to advise the pub.   I trust your Father-in-Law will be OK.   

[bolshie]

Thanks Pete. Had a diabetic episode overnight. Always a worry.

Looks like I really missed out :-(

Hopefully catch up soon.

Great ride report thanks Alan.

I'm jealous, sounds like a great day.

Good to hear the trusty STeed went well.

STroppy has actually been in Adelaide for a bit, so not that far to go really
