2017 RDU Location???

[cusso ken]

I was planning to plan that. You will be coming up the Golden Hwy. QLD, down the Newell. South Aus, across the Barrier ...... I was sorta planning to go a day earlier and pick them up at the Rat and Mouse at Emmdale. Its the only building .... can't miss really.

Is that the Emmdale Road House ,I have stopped there a few times after Cobar

Yeah, I popped Ceduna in another page/post. I have been thinking about asking the park at Nyngan, if they do a catering pack, seeing that they are giving us the BBQ area ..... and its pretty good ......, for dinners Fri and Sat. Otherwise a run into town (500m) to grab the makings and do it and then for a good breakfast Sat and Sun. Just thinking about food really.
Now ... Ceduna is pretty logical. A ride with purpose and Smokey Bay Oysters .... worth the ride in themselves!
Hoping the WA riders could come or maybe an extra day and make it to Madera Pass ..... not much to do at Madera Pass except sit buts its easy.
All food for thought .... that's three sentences in a row where I've mentioned food ... time for another scotch.

****, did I leave you some!

That was just a 'D@mn' but why the hell would that be censored?

That's the one ..... They call it the "Rat and Mouse waterhole". One petrol pump but not bad tucker.

Hang on I am getting confused here are we talking about Ceduna RDU or Nyngan RDU

Sorry, I was thinking about Nyngan .... or maybe not thinking at all. There will be a few from East and North with meet points fairly easy to determine. Dubbo is essentially where points converge ... I was just thinking of going west to meet the guys from the West .... otherwise I only get a 400 k ride in.

Golden Hwy,Merriwa,Dunedoo,Narromine,Dubbo,Trangie,and Nyngan, take your pick or I will see you there ,I always have a Schooner and a counter lunch at the Hotel Dunedoo(first stop) on the way out to Mendooran should be there around 12.00 Noon Friday all being well

Well that's tempting .... 200k from Lucknow. If @Ishrub and @HansO come this way then that's doable and would tempt me back to a more sedate plan.
Anyone else coming from North or Canberra way to join in?
The timing of this would make it essential to look at a Catering Pack and perhaps someone for two hours to have the BBQ going and ready when we ride in ...... Beer drinkers might have to stop but Whisky travels well and I can poor one as I get off the bike. I Reckon a couple of hundred bucks would be well worth it .... for my own comfort. At this stage It's my shout and I honestly don't mind .... but numbers would need to be pretty close because I will add three or four so there is enough. Thoughts .... there is still time.

Via Crookwell this time @HansO?

I had better organise my scotch a little later this time, the dozen case I bought a few weeks earlier was down to the last bottle by the time I got to Lucknow last time!

Oh Shame, just plain bloody Shame ..... it was a good bottle though .... just needed to be topped off with what I had left.
When I did the criss cross of Australia ... we left with 12 litres of homemade Rocket fuel, had 4 litres shipped to Perth then had people meet us at Hay with another 4 Litres to get us to Sydney ...... you just have to plan these things. And be strong and not have a big party at the first stop. I love Travelling like that ....... central Oz .... in a pool by 3Pm with a scotch in hand..... cool the core temp and rehydrate, then back on the bike by 7 the next morning ...... bacon and egg roll after 200k at 9. **** I'm rambling ...... I severely need to go for a ride.
