    So.... 187km round trip. Add 22km round trip to Island Gully hut if your camping... or 34km round trip if we end up at the Sledgemere one.
    I will consede to these distances as, I only did a rough estimate from google maps measuring the maps distance scale againt my cell phone, then I doubled it.

    Forcast is for fine, but as im in waikari, I can see north towards hanmer and its all cloudy grey but settled, light wind. maybe a little rain..im only guessing.
    I think its good weather for a ride. I will be tagging along from culverden, so I will keep an eye out for you all.

    Regards Greg.

    weather held up for us and had a great ride - had a couple of problems which held us up so only managed to do Edwards today. I think those staying out there overnight are doing Mallings tomorrow

    Thanks for organizing that cynna
    It's a shame we ran out of time and didn't get to do Mailing Pass but there was more than enough entertainment on Edwards Pass

    I wonder how the others are getting along, I can see Peeteey eating his beans and singing to himself "beans beans the magical fruit the more you eat the more you TOOT"

    Yes, thanks to the organiser and the other riders that help out on the way.
    Great ride, good weather and photos.
    I'm looking forward to doing another one.

    Quick post to confirm I'm home too.
    One casualty from a swim was my left blinkers are dead. I will investigate soon.
    Just had an ice cream and put the bike away for now and it's shower time, then be back to read the posts.
    Great ride, good to meet new faces, small tents aren't so much fun when you have to use them and can't get ya socks off because you can't sit up.
    At no time did we find boggy track.

    Thanks everyone for a great fun ride! Nice to meet you new guys, thanks for coming along.

    Nice to ride with you all again, great way to test out the new beastie which was excellent!

    Definitely time for a new sleeping bag and some bug repellent! I seem to remember saying that last time I went camping

    Anyhoo, off to bed. All this larking about is very tiring.

    Great pics Cynna! Look forward to more.
