10th Aniversary Ride

[Greeny_SA]

I'll plan to be there if at all possible.

As for suggested venues I'm not all that fussed and am happy to go "where ever", but just to get the ball rolling I was going to toss Broken Hill into the mix.

It has the facilities we require. It's got some history and character.

Its 1120km from Sydney, 850km from Melbourne, 1450km from Brisbane, 520km from Adelaide and 2800km from Perth (sorry to the WA crew). Its about as central as I can think of.

Downsides.... not discreet. Relatively active patrolling from what I've been told. It will be bloody hot in the November / December period. There may be some security issues so we'd need a venue that had out-of-sight parking for the bikes or we may need to hire o/n security (again, as mentioned by someone I know who lived there for 4 years). There are few 'scenic' alternatives to the main highways so there will be a bit of tedium.

I think I just talked myself out of it.

Anyway... its a suggestion to get the ball rolling.

My other suggestion is Coober Pedy.

Broken hill would be good for an SA turnout (nice & close) but most
of the roads are straight highways,bit boring. Forget coober pedy
at that time of the year unless you WANT to ride dusty tracks in 50
degree heat (thats in the shade) A nice tropical beach would be good. TAHITI??
