A caravan in a caravan park sounds great! Otherwise a share in a holiday house would be awesome! wouldn't mind putting some $$$ towards a bond provided I get it back! Otherwise I'd be stuck in Brisbane and would need to ride home....come to think of it, I wouldn't mind doing that...how long you reckon it would take to ride Brisbane to Sydney?.....hmmmm.....maybe next time roundspinner wrote:I've been trying to put the bite on Australis Resort, which is just across the road from Noosa Marina, for some sort of accomodation deal; to no avail so far
The good news is that it's low season, so prices are at their lowest.... a studio apartment is $105 pn for 2 nights or $95 pn for 3 nights.
Depends what sort of thing you are after; there are also backpackers' not far away.
I'll check with a mate who has just taken over management of a caravan park & see what he can do

Still keen on going to the show and shine (and maybe riding the short course) in tweed but i can't find any, does anyone have/know where i can get tweed plus fours, waistcoat and flat cap? I'm also looking for something similar for my better half (who i have somehow conned into agreeing to dress up for the occasion) but that shouldn't be so difficult, just a matter of finding the right kind of dress and perhaps a vest/waistcoat to suit.

If you want to spend some money, you could buy some from this mob.

I found out why my legs felt so bad. I have come down with a stomach virus. One of the joys of working at a school you exposed to everything thats going round.

As for the period, i'll have bikes from 1954 to 1993, the only thing they have in common is steel frames and downtube shifters, that's pretty much the only criteria for entry. Just bring something you like i say, the Univega i rode last year was pretty daggy but i had fun riding it.

There's a steep pinch on the return leg; Cotterpin & I walked the single speeds up it a few weeks back.
Like ldrcycles said; there's no shame in walking

Might have to break out the 'ol 'Union Star' with the Sturmey Archer 3 speed & I think I've got a tweed jacket somewhere.

Due to a conflicting engagement this "50's" person won't be around for this years event. Buggerldrcycles wrote:My original idea was just that rocking up to the show with his and hers 50s bikes with matching his and hers 50s people would be a good laugh, but with the mini eroica being 40k i might be able to do it in the tweed on my 1954 Healing if it isn't too hot. I'd definitely be doing some walking though, it only has a single speed coaster hub.

Lots of verbals......like 5 riders coming from Gympie, with 10 bikes for the Show & Shine, but not many actual registrations on the website as yet.dillonp wrote:does the organiser have an idea of entrant numbers or possible numbers ?
Maybe 15-20.
A few of us are going to ride the course in a couple of weeks, as a sighter, if anyone is interested
And a masseur has put his hand up to free-up the seized muscles after the Noosa Eroica: $1 per minute.
Will be set up outside the River Deck Restaurant at Noosa Marina.....
