Hi Mick,

Big Ted is currently doing a lap around the Paddock.

TJ189 has done it in, I think, under 9 days.

Wombattle has done lots of long distance rides including many IBA rides.

And that's only the ones I know about.

I am meeting Big Ted tomorrow at Devonport when he gets off the tinnie.

If you wanna join us for brekky/coffee at Latrobe from about 8am we'd be glad to see you.

You can ask him all sorts of questions. PM or Txt me if you want.

Cheers, Diesel

I'll save this so I can work out where your "where is this?" posts might be.

Ros and I did it in 2013 Clockwise in 90 days staying at Pubs and Motels clocking up just over 20k. Definitely not an endurance run but a great holiday none-the-less. We did a write up that was published in the Australian Motorcyclist Magazine that might be of interest. I have posted a copy of the Article in my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqipgr7bh2e52pm/Round%20Oz%20Article%202013.pdf?dl=0
