Just an update regarding the ADV team for the weekend.
Fuel:
Fuel:
- Looks like we have issues at Middlemarch with fuel.
- ( don't see it happening with talking with locals over the weekend but hey by March it could be sorted).
- I think we can say that if your bike can not do 200- km in the hills or open road then you have to carry 5 liters to enjoy the day .
Ride:
Ride:
- The ride is looking more like 300-440 km with plenty of mixture of surfaces thrown in.
- (Have even found a river crossing that is very slippery when wet).
- Everything may change on day pending on the weather.
- (As even pre riding the local farms with the grass growth covering the ruts from winter it's hard going
- If you can't find a friend to ride with no issues as we can match and batch on the day.
- (Smaller groups that can do the corner man system may work).
- There is no pressure on rushing to Wedderburn the Route has been planned for an easy - lazy - scenic day and be of the road by 4 pm.
- (but with some bad bits thrown in for those who wish for a bit of a challenge)
- Start time will be 8 am ish.
- The private land bits will be marked our with arrows.
- Route sheets will be given to those pre booked once we do a final pre ride.
- (looking at the first week of Feb for this)

Accommodation & Food:
