I understand from Wendy that this is a long weekend in NT, giving our northern members more travel time to get home.   Nostimo's has the best Pizza in SA, and the've relocated their shop from in the main street into the caravan park.    :eat

 Well the 6th is just a normal weekend which wouldn't leave Wendy much time to get back home so for her the previious weekend would probably be better but either weekend wouldn't worry me.

Hold your enthusiasm everyone while we do some checks on the date, and the availability of the NT OzSTOC membership.  I was thinking we had scheduled the ride to correspond with the NT long weekend, giving Wendy more time to get home, but have got the wrong date.   I've sent a message to Wendy, seeking her input.
A date change may be needed.

I apologise for the confusion as I set the date.   :fp

Please note the change of date for this RTE
It has been moved from the 6th August to the 30th July 2016

Bringing the event forward by one week has two benefits, in that the weekend of the 30th July is a long weekend in NT, giving our NT members an extra day to get home, and it also allows those attending the Border Run on Saturday 6th August an opportunity to attend the Coober Pedy RTE.   I've edited all the posts t reflect the new date and apologise for the original date error.  Normal discussion can now resume   :thumbsup

Sorry to read that you can't make it, and best wishes for your encounter with the "Knifers and Drillers".  I presume that these fellows are part of the "Dicers and Slicers" Union.

We may well be attending this one in the car.  I'm still out of action with the torn achilles, been in a moon boot for over 3 months and no end in sight yet.  Even if I'm riding again by then, I'm certainly not going to be ride-fit enough to do 2000km each way in a weekend....

Lack of funds due to getting car repaired......ignition switch collapsed and car is down the workshop getting fixed.

Route including fuel stops entered into GPS giving us 666km (where have I seen that number before????) trip over 7.5 hours and I guess an ETA of 4.30 pm if we left home at 8am.

We haven't committed yet; will know more on Tuesday.

Pete and Steve what are your ETAs?

Chria and I are on our way home from Katherine, leaving tomorrow, and trying to find things to do tokeep up up here until the 30th but we will most likely have pizza a week before you all get to Coober Pedy and be home by the 30th.


The pizza was great on the way up five weeks or so ago.

 :cuss.  Sorry guys but I am now unable to do this run.   On the way to work this morning the dreaded F1 light came on.   Whether it is the five way valve or not I have yet to find out.   In talking with the service people at the local dealership they can squeeze me in but told not to expect much change from $1000.  By the time they chase the fault and do a service whilst they have it.    :cuss

Well we will try the pizza again just to make sure it's up to standard.

Actually I could be home in time to ride Ruby back here. Hmmm

Coober Pedy RTE is Cancelled

After a number of pullouts, and consulting with Alan, the Coober Pedy RTE will be cancelled.  We may schedule it again for next year, depending again on the level of interest.
