    Time to start planning for this one and looking for some feed back.

    How many are in favour of leaving on a Friday afternoon and staying Friday night at Jamestown? 

    The thinking behind this is that it would take over 200 ks out of the distance we would ride on Saturday (Adelaide up to Blinman and back to Quorn for Saturday night) plus gives a bit more time for lunch/drinks on the way and at Blinman itself. 

    May also help avoiding the little furry fuckers on the side of the road when leaving Blinman.

    I know this may not be possible for everyone but if there is enough support for it we would arrange a time and place to meet those who will ride up on Saturday.

    Will work out route / meeting spots once I have an indication of interest.

    Can I please get some feed back - who is going, when they want to leave, etc so I can make some enquiries with the hotels at Jamestown and Quorn.

    Edit: DATE: Saturday 15 July and Sunday 16 July

    Bob, sorry to say, but you are running the BRASS BALLS RUN from now.
    You won't keep everyone happy, you have to make the CALL, and so be it......

    I'm flexible enough to head out on the Friday.
    Seeing that part/most of the group will be leaving the Saturday, the ~2 hours we save going up a day early doesn't seem like it'd make much difference (unless it does for the interstate lads, which in that case would make sense). 

    I see a few of us are going on the blaze aid run tomorrow- we can bounce some more ideas over some beers.

    Bo Bo, Check out Pitchi Richi Pk. Our venue for the first BB ride and a good option depending on what's happened after the new owners took over?
