We are considering a special 'RECALCITRANTS' category for thesedayne wrote:So I just noticed that this years event is pre 1990 and dot shifters only,
Bummer as it rules out a lot of my mates who have amazing bikes from the early 90's like eddy Merckx team ridden Motorolas with 7400 and other amazing c record equipped bikes or even those with modern groups on classic steel bikes.
Out of 8 of my bikes I only have one that qualifies and there no way I'm riding a 1914 bike 130km hahaha
...but I doubt I'd be riding any of THOSE bikes on some of the roads!
Seriously, no-one's going to have to go through scrutineering, to see whether they comply.

I would love a set of these, but reluctant to order as I'm between a small in some brands & a medium in others, hopefully there will be some to try on sat.spinner wrote:The new kit has landed & looking sensational. Most are sold but a few left.

Hi Laughlanldrcycles wrote:Oh and I forgot to mention, the General Store in Kin Kin which has been vacant for quite a few years was sold recently, everything but the façade demolished and it's now almost rebuilt as a general store and gourmet café. Fingers crossed it might just be open in time for the Strade Bianche.
Last year when we stopped for coffee at (?) there was one poor kid trying to accommodate, might be an idea to let them know about the ride.

Would have been Cooran that one. Unfortunately the Kin Kin General Store doesn't open until the 26th , but i'm sure the pub will do a good job as they did last year. Sadly the little tea shop that was just up from the pub has closed since last year's ride.Mustang wrote:Hi Laughlanldrcycles wrote:Oh and I forgot to mention, the General Store in Kin Kin which has been vacant for quite a few years was sold recently, everything but the façade demolished and it's now almost rebuilt as a general store and gourmet café.

I got the BSA back from the powdercoaters today, lacing up the wheels now then tomorrow I just have to print out some temporary decals (the local signwriter is booked out atm) and build it up. Then build the wheels for the Viscount my brother will be riding, rebuild my Tarini and give the rest of the fleet a spruce up .

In order to keep the event as simple and cheap as possible -free- this year it was intended that riders be pretty well self sufficient;
the ride was to be self supported in the 'heroic' tradition.
Some fantastic late news:
Lee Newton (previously of Bike-On) has volunteered to drive a 'sag' wagon for us.
Participants from past editions would remember how invaluable this was;
She carried water, some snacks, spares, and the invaluable track pump; plus she's a great girl!
The vehicle will probably be the same Toyota mini bus, towing a bike trailer for any breakdowns of bodies or bikes.
To offset the costs to Lee and Roger, her husband, we ask that all participants be prepared to donate
at least $5 at the start line. Cheap at twice the price.
Anyway, looking forward to having a great time with you all.
See you soon.
Andy

I got a whole bunch of really nice photos but left the camera in my wife's car, so the only one so far is one of her I took with my phone .

Andy and Spinner thank you very much that was an absolute cracker. You guys also jagged another day of perfect weather for the event. I think August weather in SEQ is perfect. As long as the westerly winds stay away.
The new long course is much better. Although I do miss that climb at the back of Pamona that we use to do.
A great collection of classic steel bikes was on display. I think there was around 70 riders. So a great turn out. It just gets bigger and bigger.
There was 5 punctures between me and my 2 mates today but we still managed to be the first to the Kin Kin pub and the first back to the Marina. I have to say I am absolutely smashed now.
