-
Did you guys want a Barbie lunch in Canberra?
I can put one on.
-
Hey Foxy,
Looks like work commitments will mean I be playing catch-up.
Can you include me in for accom on Fri at Newcastle.
-
looks good foxy
Anyone has ideas on bike friendly accom in Goulburn?
-
Sounds like a plan, I'm not really fussed, 3 or 4 days, I can get the time off no worries.(Part of my job is to plan and approve everybody's leave!);)
I'll join up with the group at Oxley. 9 o'clockish if it's a 3 day ride or 11 ish if it's 4 days.
As for the final leg Newcastle to Macksville, I reckon the Pacific Hwy is the go. The quicker we get there the earlier we can, 'Let the drinking begin'.:D
-
the point of this trip is the ride there once there we will be drinking. the pacific hwy is a shit road full of roadworks. wankers in cars and cops. thunderbolts way s a good ride and going up that way is worth it. just ask deano hes done it. its up to you lot but you will miss out on some good riding.
-
I'll have to take your word for it Rexie, I've never been up that way. Looks like the Thunderbolt road it is then.
-
i drive the pacific hwy 6 times one week and four times the next. believe me its not the way you want to go.
-
Well Just handed in my leave of absence form and got the green light from the boss, so I'm all set for the four day run.
Rexie, I only added Pacific Hwy as an option due to the amount of K's we will be doing in order to get to Newcastle.
Some may not feel up to a 7 hour ride on the last day, and prefer to piss on as soon as possible.
There's always the ride home too.
If I'm up to it I'd prefer to do Thunderbolt way as well.
-
Ok, it looks like a four day run up.
What's the plan for the return trip Foxy?
What day are you plan'n on gett'n home?
-
The trip back will be a bit of improvising of the route up.
Maybe a half day ride leaving some time in the afternoon on Sunday.
Plan on getting home on the Wednesday.
-
so who is staying here?
i need people to wake me up otherwise i will sleep in til midday :D
-
Just look'n at the plan Fimp, both the 3 and 4 day rides end up in Newcastle on the Friday, so they'll probably only be 15 - 20 of us:D
-
i can fit that many bikes off-street parking
might have to bunk on the living room floor though...
-
Righto all, I've just got off the blower to Deano & Shano & we need to clear a few things up. [?]
We'll be doing the 4 day run & we're keen to stop off at Chateau Chalk for a bbq lunch & a couple while we're in Canberra on Thursday, so if you're offering Chalky, we're gratefully accepting. :)
Also, we reckon the Sydney crew could meet us at Windsor or somewhere to do the stretch from there to Newy if there's anyone interested.
Accomodation at Newy seems to be at Casa del Fimp, if that offer still stands Fimp, & you can house maybe 10 of us (most of us are happy to sleep on the floor) then we're in thanx mate. :)
Are the Newy crew all getting to Macksville via Thunderbolts? If so, it would make sense to assemble the Vic, Syd & Newy crews at the same meet point & all ride up together.
We're highly flexible, us Mexicans, so let us know if all this is too hard & we'll tell you all to get fucked I mean, work something out. ;)
-
Rexie might be able to accomodate a few mexicans too,just tell him i said you can stay there.;)
-
sounds good to me,
what time would you be planning on getting to newy?
i could be home after work any from about 4, maybe i could meet u all at the end of the F3 and guide u all to the fimpCAVE??
-
I'll get in the meat and etc
Any requests?
-
Thanx boys, mighty white of youz.
Fimp; should be in Newy around 4pm ish at this stage so yeah, we could meet you on the way home from work. Obviously, we'll exchange Mob. No's beforehand so we can let you know if we're running late/whatever.
Chalky; Choice aged eye fillet, imported German Bratwurst & Spanish Chorizo sausages I s'pose will suffice. [:p]:D Only serious joking, whatever is normal Chalk fare is OK by us.
-
Gibbo, are you com'n on the 4 dayer? I still need someone to carry my shit, as the GS has barely enough room for me let alone a bag.
