DB1K - Dusty Butt 1000 2013

Oh go on, all good adventure rides start with an evening of cutting, sellotaping and drinking... followed by rewinding your entire route because you rolled it up backwards

Is that like hitting the "reverse route" button and then the "upload" button?


I'd rather use the GPS, and take photos of the roll chart mugs

lmfao

Yeah can see the benefits of the old fashion way bloody hell its long - roll of bog paper probably wouldn't do,
good thing got a laser printer - be cheaper buying gps unit than ink otherwise lollol

The drink bottels i got are still good as no leaking or damage to the lid or seal. Any way ive been looking around and found these

The trick here is to know that they know where they are going. Following any random fella may have unintended consequences!

BRP I think you have your answer. Best method is to print double sided and get two lengths of chart on one A4.

How much different is this route from the last one? Just askin cos my (well Nordies to be more accurate) roll chart holder still has the last chart in it.

LOL - guilty as charged. CCA 2008 involved a rewind into the holder and a couple of dusty's I've had to do the same.

Exactly the same as 2012. Its in the very first sentence on www.db1k.com This thing called work is really getting in the way at the moment (generally working till midnight most nights on top of 9 hour days).

Oh ok, cheers, now get back to work. See you at Fairlie.

How does the roll chart work ? Do I run a roll of bog paper through the home printer

Seriously - do ya have to join bits of A4 paper together ....... ?

Any good printer should be able to do it in one length for only a few dollars....from memory was $3 ea for ours last year

deja vu - midnight again!

Now thats thinking outside the square !

3 bucks - be that to step in the door in ch-ch

Maybe that R fella could do a group deal for $20 per roll chart - 17 x 75 - $1275 slides

[NordieBoy]

OH Sheeet, I didn't know entry was limited

Otherwise there's standing room only in Fairlie...

[Padmei]

Actually how come there is limitd numbers?

[GPS MAN]

Yea, I was wondering the same thing?

Email sent Peachy.

Actually how come there is limitd numbers?

Primary reason - keeping farmers happy. While lots of paper roads, they still maintain them. Second reason - so you enjoy it. Too many will mean too much dust, getting stuck in 'traffic' and increased crash risk (overtaking in the dust at the beginning of the ride last year was treacherous, I didn't but others did and I saw one close shave with an on comming vehicle).

Said it somewhere else but I don't want this ride to become a victim of its own success.

Ok im sick of this fuel problem so im at work right now sorting it. Ive removed my rear rack and have moved it forward to keep the weight more over the seat. I went to a mower shop and got a second hand plastic fuel tank from a ride on mower for $5. Im going to mount it to the rear rack and then plumb it into the main fuel line with a seprate fuel tap .This should work sweet as and better than fuel bottels
