School Holiday Ride Sep 2012
Write this down somewhwere. We are repeating the abandoned ride that Lucky, Keys and DD attempted some time ago. Refer to the “You Just Can’t Go Past Armidale Ride” in April 2012 for details of that debacle. Soooo having learned from that we will now repeat it although we will try different accomodation. Still staying 2 nights at a pub in Armidale (which Keys reckons is the Uni Pub but I couldn’t find it on the net) which gives us day 2 to circle north without packs through various country towns which DD defines as “a great adventure”. We leave Maccas Tuggerah on Saturday morning 29 Sep and come back Monday 1 Oct. Pack warm clothes I’m thinking. Post here if keen. The weekend gives non schoolies like Ant and Sideways a chance to join. That’s just like Lucky, always thinking of others.
Good to go….. I think….. Demons have been exorcised…. visors nearly sorted out…..new tyres scrubbed in……
The mention of St Kilda still sends shivers down my spine.
The Uni pub is the Tattersals. Ordinary but passable. There are half a dozen other pubs worth a look. Try site ‘Gday Pubs’ for reviews. Happy to investigate for us.
Keys ( I now carry a spare)
Pencil me in. Will have to evict the redbacks from the Kwaka.
You’re in Mohawk. Black Santa has also confirmed and Ant is organising himself as well.
I’m packed and ready, can make it 4 days if you like, already got new pilot road 3 on front at Niges advice, still had plenty of middle tread, but sides seemed to have evaporated, also got new wet weather gear, my other rain jacket flapped itself to pieces on the way back from Tottenham (not rated for over 200k, which was what I was doing), All I’d like now is a Shoei black n red rising sun helmet to match my rocket
Bobby. “at Niges advice” …… CAUTION!
Thank you for the warm welcome, me thinks i would like to follow you old guys to Armidale at a slightly slower pace than before, is that ok?
Killswitch, aka Mal Leyland….
Wouldn’t be the same without you Killswitch. See you at Maccas.
I strongly suspect that this weekend is the Labour Day Long Weekend with double demerit points.
Still a wise decision?
Yeah double demerits might be asking too much. What about the previous weekend and Monday so Ant and Sideways can come. I am out for midweek first week but otherwise ok.
I should be OK with change.
Ant is good for the change also. Have sent texts to others except Killswitch because i dont have his number. POST HERE JOHNNY or text me on 0404146681. Nige struggling but hopefully will be ok.
