SA / VIC get together in Edenhope VIC, RD1 May 23rd/24th
First topic message reminder :
As posted in the VIC Ride page:
I was chatting to Rayman about doing a overnighter for the SA members sometime this year, he suggested Mt Gambier, I was thinking Mid Nth of SA.
His idea of Mt Gambier got me thinking, we could do a SA / VIC get together somewhere about 1/2 way between Adelaide & Melbourne.
I've had a bit of a look and this little gem popped up, Lake Wallace Hotel Edenhope, about 390km each way, $30 a room inc continental breakfast
https://www.facebook.com/lakewallacehotel.edenhope/about
Would any of the VIC members be up for it a bit later in the year? Easy morning ride to Edenhope, check in, go for a ride or just relax and talk shit, head home Sunday or if you can get Monday off stay a extra night. Who knows, we might even be able to talk Paul into this one as well

Sorry guys we can't make this meet... Anna is booked in to go skydiving on Saturday, although the weather doesn't look good.
Have fun one and all, and keep the black stuff on the road.

The Bombers wont be finished yet but my local mob will be, if we do a 2nd ride in September I might have to take a week off, watch the mighty Bombers in the finals and ride over to Edenhope with the Vic crew, it'll be the only way I get to watch any finals action this yearRayman06 wrote:All dates should be fine for me, pretty flexible with dates.
You should be available in September Chook, no probs. Roosters and Bombers both on holidays by then.

I've been throwing my change in a drawer since I got back from Parkes, had a look last night and I've got enough loose change to pay for 2 nights accommodation and most of my petrol, the weekend is going to feel cheap for mepaul wrote:That would be a shame , I'm finally getting to meet some of you lot ...............Think about it though, do you really "neeeed" electricity . you'll be in EdenhopeSuzySuzuki wrote:Damn bills keep rolling in, I may need to be put on the 'Maybe' list, if more come in next week!

Re: SA / VIC get together in Edenhope VIC, RD1 May 23rd/24th
I've been watching the long range forecast for a couple of weeks, it hasn't changed much in that time, this week has looked colder and wetter since I started watching but there has been forecasts of possible showers Saturday and Sunday, Friday is supposed to be good.
By the time I rug up with thermal skins, jeans, Kevlar pants, dririder with spray jacket, quilted dri rider pants I reckon I'll be ok
Re: SA / VIC get together in Edenhope VIC, RD1 May 23rd/24th
I just picked up a pair of dryrider Nordic pants. If they are as warm as my Nordic Jacket I should be toasty.
The only problem will be my gloves, which with any sign of water will be soaked through to the skin. Thinking of getting some water repellent spray.
Anyway I am more concerned about the wind. It been blowing its tits off for 4 days now, if you went out in this you'd be blown off the road!

Another glorious sunny day up here in beautiful Queensland.
Hey MM. Try and find some rubber gloves that will fit over your bike ones. Might do the trick. And those plastic waterproof boot protectors are pretty cheap. JAT.

Its always pretty windy down that side of the Grampians, but with the snow, imagine the wind chill today.
Ill be checking the long range forecast daily, cause if its going to be winds over 20kph, stuff it.

The sun came out today, then it went in and the rain came down again. Then the sun came out again, and then in, and the rain came down again. Then the sun came out again,and then in, and the rain came down again. Then the sun came out again, and then in, and the rain came down again. Then the sun came out again, and then in, and the rain came down again.
So a normal day in Victoria.
As the sun was out this morning I took the bike out, got wet on the way home, lol.
Tried out the new Nordic pants, as expected very toasty. Comfortable on the bike but not so walking around.
Have now drowned my gloves in waterproofing spray

As someone who climbed Hanging Rock in bike gear, anyone else wonder how we're going to walk in caves?

Good point, though I'm not sure if Mike and I will get as far as the caves we will have to see how we are going for time.
