Cool, maybe QOTH might like to chase the two day riders around? Not sure what vehicle you have but even if she does the easy bits and seal around the harder bit maybe?

See previous posts by many are getting Fairlie accom sorted for the 15th (Fri). Not sure if people are plaining on staying again on the 17th (Sun) or are heading home.

The one day has traditionally started on the same day as the two day riders i.e. the morning of the 16th. My Bro and I who are doing the Small Bore Challange are thingking of starting at about 8pm on the Friday night so we are not physically done in over the night leg.

I have some interesting memories of the Gladstone - use to stay there when I worked for Fulton Hogan in a chip sealling (tar sealing for you old buggers) crew during Uni holidays. Involved a bit much of this

and a bit of feeling like this

the next morning!

On a more serious note - XF650 has been speaking to the proprietor of the Gladstone and they have offered to do B&B for $35 per person (630am breaky). This is a special rate for our group apparently and they want us to put together a list of names first and give that to them. They do not want cash now but if you are interested please PM XF650 to put your name on the list. Id suggest that people do this in the next couple of weeks i.e. by 22 November. XF650 may have more to add about this later.

The other thing the Gladstone has offered is a BBQ meal in their beer garden, or inside if wet, on the Friday night for $10pp. Are people generally interested in this offer? If a few are interested we'll organised this. It saves the hassle of having to take food and a BBQ down and solves the problem of finding somewhere to have the BBQ.
