Yes its a pitty all the bikes are going to look shagged.
I like your thinking about not needing the wets now you have them
We will make the most of it other wise what ya going do sit on the couch all weekend.
I think all of us should be making atleast one each to the sun gods

Oh if you dont already do it heres a tip pack ya clothes in plastic bags prior to putting them in ya bag
Nothing worse than getting out of wet gear into new wet gear.
Shopping bags over ya shocks before boots go on make for dry feet

Hi Shredder, in view of daylight saving should we leave earlier and maybe lunch in Grafton at the village Green ? Just a suggestion.. not really fussed.

Im fully aware & the plan was made to do what were doing
so its as per other post its a bit hard to work it to suit everyone

Here and waiting at the Boondall Wetlands. Left home early for the trip down from the Sunshine Coast expecting the worst, pissing rain and bumper to bumper traffic. If was the best run i have had ever this time in the morning.

[Pa King]

Same as you harieg, been up since 5am, no rain at all this morning so far but I think it's waiting for me to put my helmet on.



Hopefully by the end of today the worst of it will be over. The rest of the weekend should be better.

Mozzie must already be on his way.

Yep here at exit 117 and waiting.
Looks like most of the rain has gone out to sea.

Awesome run today to bundarra pub and return.
Lunch hit the spot and nearly 40 bikes hit the Gwydir
for an exciting trip back to Grafton. Many thanks to all
who attended and made the day a success. Heading home in the morning,
meeting another group at Casino for a run to Nimbin
and home via gold coast hinterland.

[busybusa]

Dave & Megs Home safe, had to put our wets on at Casino, for the rest of the trip home. was a great week end for the weather at the river rampage. Thanks to all that made sure we had a good one.
Little disappointed in the accommodation this time, cold shower Saturday, meals not up to scratch, anyway had my sook. This was my fourth one, was great to catch up with all.
Cheers Dave & Megs

[TheShredder]

Home safe & sound
Had a blast of a weekends ride & with only the last 250K's home this morning being bloody torture slow, wet, traffic, road works

We had a good roll up & the days ride went to plan all be it for a couple of couple of hiccups which were nothing & considering the size of the group it was an awesome run.

The only let down seemed to be the new staff at the station from the feed back i received.
