     Hey Guys now that I'm on 2 wheels and keen to put some miles on the FBob.

     

    How about a CQ members ride. Either Mackay, Emerald, Rocky? I guess where ever the most interest is. We can't let the SEQ members hog this section. 

     

    So who is in CQ and keen for a HDF members ride?

     Interest so far...

    • Me - Moranbah.
    • Evoshovel - Rockvegas.
    • Evilsim - Emerald.
    • Skulz - Emerald.
    • Robo61 - Happyrock.

    I'm keen and distance doesn't bother me (my ass may not agree) but if there is a few hundred km's to get to the meet point we could make it an overnighter at an out of the way pub somewhere. mmm beer mmm rum.

    Depending on which weekend I would be keen.

    Bike at Emu Park. So anywhere  near Rocky as a starting point is OK

     Airlie Beach sounds good. Crusty I'm not kitted of Bike camping yet I need to get a bike swag as my double swag is almost as long as my bike.

     

    I guess we need to make a date. Maybe some time in late Oct so Evilsim can make?

    Airlie Beach sounds good for me too. Just depends the weekend whether I'm on call for work or not. First weekend of October is Kuranda bike show so I'm already going up to that.

    Anyone coming from Emerald I will meet with you guys at the Shell on Peak Downs Hwy at the Moranbah turn off. Either Sat morning or Friday if your keen on making it along weekend. 

    Accommodation in Airlie Beach: 

    One suggestion was Magnums Backpackers which is right in the heart of the main street. Cheap and full of partying Backpackers… 

    http://www.magnums.com.au/magums_airlie_beach/accommodation_airlie_beach.html 

    If your not into budget backpacker style then there is always the Airlie Beach Hotel. Price varies on room type plus lock up parking. Right on the beach and 5 mins walk from the centre of Airlie.

    or find your own.

     

    So reply if your coming and what accommodation preference so we can starting booking as it is a very popular place so we need to book soon. It’s only 4 weeks away.
