Me too Pete. I was really looking forward to this.

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....

We will be lucky to make this one.

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

StinkyPete · « **Reply #31 on:** July 05, 2016, 11:42:16 AM »

Bugger! Not only is the ignition switch U/S, the timing is crook as well.

enjoy ppl I'll be enjoying weeks of physio terrorism to get ride fit ready for the warmer weather.

Streak has just let me know that he's a non starter for this RTE.

Who's interested in sharing some "hard" accommodation for Saturday night? A fancy villa in the Stuart Range Caravan Park is about $250 for one night for four people.

I can't make it now, have to work

I'm going to pull the plug on this ride as well. My bike is still in the Adelaide repair shop and chances are it won't be ready in time for this ride.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #39 on:** July 15, 2016, 06:56:21 AM »

Thanks Lionel, and I trust your bike gets sorted soon. Is there anything I can do to help it along??

StinkyPete · « **Reply #40 on:** July 15, 2016, 06:57:46 AM »

Hey Richo,
We are the last ones standing, so if you're still up for it, I'm happy to ride to Coober Pedy for a Pizza and a couple fo glasses of red.

In the words of Homer Simpson. Mmmmmmmmmmm pizza. I am in.

alans1100 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 15, 2016, 07:26:05 PM »

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?

richo · « **Reply #45 on:** July 15, 2016, 07:46:22 PM »

My planned ETA is 30 to 60 seconds after Pete arrives.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #46 on:** July 15, 2016, 09:07:18 PM »

Richo and I will plan our journey to arrive at the Stuart Range Caravan Park at around 1600hrs, giving a bit of time for a Nanna Nap before the festivities.

ppopeye · « **Reply #47 on:** July 16, 2016, 09:17:12 PM »

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.

richo · « **Reply #48 on:** July 19, 2016, 06:49:03 PM »

. 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.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #49 on:** July 19, 2016, 08:29:05 PM »

Richo, sorry to hear of your withdrawl, as I know we both were really looking forward to this ride. Coober Pedy is such an iconc Aussie outback location.
