    If only! Luckily some architectural work has turned up but it's hard to find at present, I still reckon that 36 mill should have been mine

    Anyway Matt, when are we going to see the bavarian abomination, the MMMMM?

    Congrats too, it looks good!

    Nothing is lining up right at the moment Cant afford to take any more time off work unless it's a day i've already got rostered off. Would love to do the MmMmMMMMmMmm but it's not going to work! Argh!
    Weekend after this one I might ride up to fletchers bay though (top of coro) again.

    My penance is to work all through the coming weekend, so I'll miss this ride.

    The penance is for PJay Son #2 and I spending 2 days last week up at FB, fishing off the kayaks. Some good snapper about, nabbed by softbaits. We each caught a couple over 70cm (approx 6kg). Windy on Wednesday, just glorious on Thursday.

    But... are we having an Adv group explore of the Coro gravel again later this year, folks?

    (Sorry about the threadjack, Iain).

    I hope so! Enjoyed myself last time, even if it was sliding across the top of anything gravel like on the supermoto!

    I've got an evil plan in the pipeline for the last weekend in November.

    In a vain attempt to get back on track, I will bring up the weather!

    Looks a touch damp and, as per last time, if it's only showery or clearing I'm still going, if it's really tipping down I'm staying in bed.
    My decision will be posted on saturday avo, any discussion welcome.




    Suppose if it's that wet we're all heading for Fletchers Bay the following weekend??

    :
    There is a difference from last time.
    Back then, the weather started "Indifferent" and went to "Oh Shit".
    It looks like it will be the other way round this time.
    In as much as forecasts can be trusted in Orks, (about on a par with politician's promises), it looks like the weather will fall to bits late tomorrow and recover on Sunday.
    Making the right call on Saturday won't be easy.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Watching With Interest

    Would be keen to meet up with you guys somewhere around the caves on your way down.

    Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

    IF you don't blouse out? I will be heading over your way in the morning, or similar....
    IF it is dry when I wake I will ride, if it looks really bad or is pissing down buckets I will postpone....NO, Cancel....

    My bike is in quite a few bits at the moment, but if I get it back together today, I would be interested to tag along.

    Sounds good. Where can we meet that is central for the both of us then? Seeing I am coming from the East, I can come to you, just let me know where and when would be good and we could rendezvous with the Jaffa crowd...

    Weather update

    OK, latest weather shows heavy rain in the morning continuing until around lunchtime with strong southerlies, wet and cold.

    With that in mind I am bravely staying in bed and watching the rain from the luxury of my house.

    This ride is cancelled.
