What an excellent choice. I'm in.

If your pace to and from Toowoomba is any indication, that'll be a two day ride (each way) for you.

Mmmmm ...... 10 months away, I'll let you know in August if I'm going.
Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

Ouch!!!

Being on that ride with you both, that's a bit harsh.

Maybe a 1/2 day ride each way.   ;-*

We are in!!! (Mark &Julie). I haven't spoken with Julie just yet but rest assured I'll be putting my foot down, with a firm hand!  If that doesn't work then it'll be the usual grovelling and foot stamping.

There are minor benefits to being single! Although I can't think af any right now. But well said.....Keep that foot well planted. :eek

Grasshopper,

It has indeed been done before.

SA hosted a dual lunch / dinner RTE last year.

Lunch was in Bordertown and dinner in Mundulla. Both in SA that time

Mexicans outweighed croweaters on that occasion.

As I think one of the SA numberplates says... "SA State of Innovation"   :grin

My humble apologies master.

I went looking for overnighters this very evening as i have been informed by HR today that i need to burn a few more weeks excessive leave.
While this won't meet their requirements prior to the end of the current financial year, it does make me sad how few overnighters we have Nationally now  :'(

We do have an RTE scheduled for Pinnaroo on the Vic border for March 22 if you want to extend your trip back from Sutton.

I'll be taking an extended ride back home, but not the full extra week.

The Bushman's Arms Hotel is 3,028 kms from Willetton via Victor Harbor so there is a chance this maybe a tri state RTE. It is in pencil in my diary. Also the link for the location of the Bushman' Arms Hotel in the above post is wrong.

The Monday after Sutton Theresa and I ride to Sydney for a few days. Theresa flies home on the Friday and I start the ride home which will have me probably at Hay on the Friday night so if the Pinnaroo RTE was a week earlier I would be there for it.  :grin
