Down the road to Robe

[Taffey]

Here are the details. Check-in window will open at 11:30am and close at 12:00pm Noon Australian Central Daylight Time.  If you're coming from the East, ACDT is 30 mins behind. From the west, legend, no doubt have all of the timing stuff well in hand.

Riders are encouraged to participate under the 1000km or 1200km in 24 hours rules; meaning the ride window opens 12:00pm Noon Friday and closes 12:00pm Noon Sunday and you must complete your 1000 or 1200km ride within a 24hour window inside that window. But there is no pride lost if you just want to pootle over from wherever for a lesser ride to say, "G'day".

GZ is for the moment small linear parkland at the water's edge opposite The Robe Hotel, 6 Mundy Terrace, Robe SA 5276.

More details to follow - but set aside the 18th of March for a Ride over to Robe in SA. Not much on that weekend so people wanting to overnight have plenty of accommodation to choose from.
I am heading down early next month to case out a venue for lunch.

Nothing else has be put up.

I'm unable to attend as I have other things happening in March.

See you there.

That will work. Let's plan the ride.

I've just realised my 6 weeks of medical restrictions don't expire until the Monday after this ride.  Bugger, I was looking forward to making this one, the first of a new era.

See you there.

I suggested that the ride should be created on Ridemaster, like Carsten did for the Tassie ride.

Afternoon all , hearing the odd mixed messages . Or I'm  just not getting my head around it .
Can someone please clarify ,
Is the March 18 , "Road to Robe "  ride a GTR .
Or actually a registered ride , with names , distance credited start and finish location , steed ..( bike) ..  options of completing your nominated distance at check in , or half out , half back within the 24 hrs of ride and checkin day ...in the traditional FR way
Cheers

Take a few minutes to sit by the lake at Lake Cargelligo as you pass through.  It's a bit of an oasis in the Australian outback.
