Would've been good to have some SA representation, but you have other plans, qué serį, serį.

Knew a guy who lived there back in the 80's and early 90's.  John was a nice guy until he he turned weird (I think that's a nice way to put it).

Only three more sleeps.   

So far, only about eight for lunch (at the RSL) and two or three staying overnight to partake in a pint or three of the Kilkenny (at the Courthouse).  Let me know if your coming for lunch (I'll book for 10 anyway). 

If staying overnight, make you own arrangements at the Courthouse, or elsewhere.

Looks like it might be a bit damp on the weekend, but that won't stop me. The couple of hours I have put on the bike have worn the 'shine' off the new front tyre so the bike is ready. I have been putting together what I need for this trip so I can leave here by 9am, and give myself plenty of time to get to Ararat with time out for rest stops if needed. Will top the tank tomorrow ready for the trip.
See you all there!
