Can't argue with a spring ride AND an early summer one too!
Late September works for me.
Early December also works.
Meow, prrrr.
Keep plotting, I cant make any of the dates yet suggested, but were bound to get one that's a goer.
I have a nice ride coming up this Sunday Tomakin to Bermy, with the Moruya club for fish & chip lunch, then down to Tathra over to Bega, up Brown Mt & on to Canberra.
Late to the party.
I will try to be in with the next ride, hopefully spring (the proposed Sept dates), and hopefully be in with the one after, during early summer. If the spring ride runs late I might get caught up with impending serious commitments, and if the summer ride run runs late I might get crossed over with with christmas holiday bookings, and if the two rides merge into one ride in the middle somewhere I am most likely screwed, so I could theoretically make it to one, to both or to nothing.
I wholeheartedly support Charlie's suggestion of 'more is betta' and that a spring AND summer ride should be planned. The year is short, the optimum riding season even shorter, and our lives are made up of far to few of these precious things.
I will post again when I check these proposed dates against my partners diary... ('it that knows all')
Late to the party, too quick to reply.
25th/26th Sept is no good for me. It is the weekend before my partners big exhibition and there is virtually no chance of me making it then.
Nonetheless I am still in support of the 'more is betta' concept so if that is the earliest date that works with most of you then I say go for it. I will try for the next one.
Only other immovable dates this year for me should theoretically be 17th November (being daughters birthday on a pretty safe Tuesday) and the summer holiday starting 18th December or so.
Hans, that's a bugger. I'm usually pretty free of those 'life getting in the way' things but my son is getting married in mid October, so I'll probably have to make an appearance. I made it to his last wedding so maybe I'll be given a rain check for this one. Anyways, I'm open to suggestions on the Spring run(s) and may still get to Dargo on the 25th September.

I vote for both! Keep an eye on the weather, if end of Sept gets washed out we have a back-up plan.
I have a week-and-a-half of madness at work and then hope to shift down a gear,.. or two.
The big dam is at 79.8% and more rain forecast for later this week.
I never realised how close I am to Rome. I could have picked up Cardinal Pell from the Vatican and delivered him to the Royal Commission. Woulda saved all that angst.

Good effort Charlie... Herding cats will come easy after this little exercise.
Whatever is decided I'll attempt to get to... but I like the idea of the 25th coz I can take the following week off (so, more riding /camping /relaxation time).
I'm up for any chance of a ride, it's just gotta (roughly) land on a w/end that fits my ugly freakin work schedule.
(Note to self: gotta do something about all this work interrupting the important things in life.)

I suggest we push on with that plan and then look forward to more rides and gatherings in interesting places as the comfortable riding season progresses.
