....  But Marcus can trump you here - he gets to lead 70 STs (not a paltry 45) up a dirt road for a U-turn to snatch the record from the Crow Eaters!!!.....

And I'd thought my indiscretion while leading the Saturday ride had been forgotten or forgiven.    :-[

Forgiveness is yours.  All been there.  How do you think Yewie got his name?

But forgetting is another thing altogether...
Otherwise we'd lose all those myths and legends!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

We have both bikes serviced, just need to wash them (why bother, after 3000km of traveling, they will be nice & dirty again), then load them.

Leaving Atherton on the 17th, planning on being in ballarat on the friday afternoon all going well. We have a few routes in mind, all depends on how well we go on the first day. Its my first big ride (over 600km), and Megans only done a total of 2300km since getting her learners (biggest trip was 450km each way)..

Look forward to meeting everybody, and hopefully seeing some nice countryside on the way!   :13Candy

Sabie has left the Building and is now officially on his way to OzSTOC 2014.


First day down, 12 1/2 hours..... Need to break that up going home. Townsville - Gladstone and vice versa is to much for Mrs Sabie in one day. So on the way home we'll do Gladstone - Mackay overnight and then Mackay - Townsville.
