Our Next Overnighter

First topic message reminder :

As i missed the Grumpy weekend away, and i am missing a weekend ride my dad and a few other are going on...
I think its time to do another overnighter!

I do an annual Tamworth ride...which i havnt done in 2 years...so im keen for that one.
Or we could do the ride south we did last year, though maybe getting cold that way by the time this ride is a go ahead.
Anyway, im easy for the destination. Doesnt worry me. As for the weekend..im easy with that as well.

Any body interested in another overnighter then?
All in say AYE!

Can't make a firm commitment just yet but certainly on the cards..

ok i'll go - whats the plan and do u think i need to book a motel or just do it on the night? [ ive never been there] and i trust it wont be the three amigos alone again , hmmmmmmmmmm everyone??????????????????????????????

It would be a long days ride to do it all in one day, not my cup of tea.
If there are only the three amigos going then I don't expect anyone to go ... although I'll still go.
I'm not all that sure there are any great riding to do out there, along the way yes at Oberon.

PS
don't let me pick dates ... I don't know how to look at calendars properly.

By the most direct route its only about 350km from Sydney... for me only about 250km (the bikes barely warmed up!) so if I go I'll probably take a more scenic route via Oberon/Cowra area..

thru cowra google says 6 hours [so more if you add on the odd stop]

I dont really care if its just the usual 3 of us. I havnt been out riding for a long time. so im keen.

Guys,
Just so I know I have the trip details correct (I never quite know what we are doing so I might get there yet) please confirm that it is an overnighter in Parkes Saturday 12th May.
Regards

12 MAY I'll be at the coachman hotel motel in Parkes overnight ... after visiting the telescope because photos with the telescope will be better in the afternoon sunshine.

i sent the coachman an email but they didnt reply re accommodation

I posted else where, but my brake lines where sent to Brazil instead of to Aust. So if they come in time i will be there. If not, Ill have to miss out....again.

So how many definites are there for the Parkes ride?? I sent the Coachman Motel an email too but so far no reply... I'd be thinking I'm a fair certainty for the weekend... will probably have the GF on the back unless it's wet, in which case she won't go along..

I'm still going 12 May

I'm still only 50%.

Still no reply from the 'Coachman' - can't be too stressed about business? I'd give my odds at about 80% chance of being there... will know more after next weekend...

So i still have no lines. Still have no reply from the seller. As far as i know they are still in Brazil.
Looks like i will miss out on this ride again. Sorry fellas.

You still have nearly 2 weeks... they might come in?

I am very unlikely to make it. The wife is preagant with no. 2 child and no.1 has broken his leg on the trampoline that I got him for his birthday. I have got no chance of getting away at the moment. In fact, I will consider myself lucky if I dont get flogged. Sorry fellas, was really looking forward to it, especially bhoffo and I comparing hair styles.

I'm definitely out - being Mother's Day, the law has been laid down! Guess I'll be going down to Bunnings and then doing some gardening.

Bummer that both you and Ewok are 'out' - sorry to hear about your No. 1 boy too.. at least young bones mend quickly and well. As for the hair style.... welll..... !!

So its official i wont have my lines by the weekend so im out.
So dissapointed. Its like the 3rd overnighter in a row i have to pull out of.
So if anybody is keen ill post up another weekender as soon as i have the bike on the road again. Up north, maybe Tamworth.

Sorry guys... I've got to pull out of this one now too... had a few things pop up over the past week and I really can't get away..
Still interested in going on one soon though.. so Cameron; if you manage to get your brake lines sorted some time this decade let us know! Up Tamworth way would be good too..

Dont worry, ill have it sorted soon. Havnt done the tamworth ride for a while so im keen as!

i cant go - i have had an unexpected expense so no fun money available untill the end of the month...

Looks like it's just you Baz.... sorry about that.....
